Lamine Yamal came out ahead of Kylian Mbappé in a poll organized by the Madrid newspaper "Marca" for the footballer who deserves the Ballon d'Or 2026. The star of Barcelona received 37 percent of the votes, while Mbappé was ranked behind him with 27 percent. Meanwhile, 36 percent of the voters have chosen the option "another player". The result has attracted special attention due to the fact that the poll was conducted by a media based in Madrid and with a large number of Real Madrid fans. Thus, Yamal has created a lead of 10 percentage points over Mbappé, making the race for the prestigious award even more interesting. Both footballers have publicly expressed their ambitions for the Ball of Gold, while the debate between the trophies won by Yamal and Mbappé's individual statistics is expected to continue until the announcement of the winner./04 Online/
