Can RODRI WIN the 2026 Ballon d'Or after Spain's World Cup Final WIN vs. Argentina 🏆👀

This is probably the first year where the ballon dor winner isn’t obvious. Nobody has been overwhelmingly dominant in any competition, and an argument could be made for many players. It’ll really come down to what these journalists voting for the ballon dor value most.

Love watching Rodri navigate around traps like they're not even there, and I would love to see him get the Ballon D'Or, but... you can't pick him over Xavi Alonso for one simple reason: Xavi Alonso had the longest passing range. Let's remember that he could laser a 50 yard diagonal pass right into the pocket of a winger, and that's an incredibly valuable asset. I'd say only Tony (Kroos) could compete with him in that department.

Congratulations Spain... Fully deserved

I think Rodri is better than Busquest

Bro already completed football's Platinum trophy. I highly doubt he even cares now.

(1) Rodri it’s not better than Barcelona’s Busquets
(2) Playing in just 21 games during 2025/26 Premier League season and winning the World Cup does not make you a Ballon d’Or winner!!!

Rodri was never in a million years the best player of this tournament.

The reality is , Kane did enough. Best stats , club season he was best . World Cup he did enough, didn’t completely ghost. Assisted in the semi finals. He deserves it .

Rodri cant yamal Kane Dembele olise is more ahead than him 😅.

Lamine yamal or mbappe should win the ballon d'or

If individual stats and records matter, then it has to be between Mbappé and Kane because both have incredible statistics. Kane won a few trophies, while Mbappé won nothing, but he broke the record for most goals in World Cup history, and that should be taken into account. If trophies matter more, then I would say Rodri, simply because he was named the best player of the competition and won the World Cup. However, if I had to choose, I would pick Mbappé because he has been top scorer in the World Cup, Champions League, and La Liga.

Nostalgia merchants 😂😂😂

Nico Cantor glaze for Argentina has taken a massive hit 😂😂😂

No more Declan rise comparison to Rodri Aamiin

Why are we giving yearly awards to someone who had a great tournament? He got an award for this already.

I think Rodri can win this year's Ballon D'or just like a year ago when the Spain National team won the Euro Cup and was City's heartbeat controlling the middle. I don't think after the World Cup the race for the Ballon D'or has a lot of competition because of so many matches that were streamed and watch by so many. 1)Rodri 2) Kane 3) Demblem PSG, these players had the biggest impact in league play and WC with consistency through the season.

I think cubarsi is not talked about enough he got better stats than canavaro when he won his ballon d’or

Fabian ruiz is so slept on. Kind of feel bad for the guy. Kudos to the shout-out for him Nico & Jimmy.🎉🎉❤❤❤
