As the latest recognition from Italy confirms, Modric has accomplished a milestone in Milan that he astonishingly never reached during his long spells at Real Madrid or Tottenham.

The Brazilian forward delivered a blistering rant after finishing outside the top three in the Ballon d’Or standings — a reaction that Neymar, who has defended him publicly, would surely nod along to.

In just over a decade, Kylian Mbappe has emerged as one of the world's top players, despite not yet securing a Ballon d'Or. Marcel Desailly, a 1998 World Cup winner, discusses a key attribute the Real Madrid star needs to elevate to clinch the desired award.

Set to clash against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League, PSG have received a huge boost regarding Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé.

PSG reportedly eyes a record-breaking transfer by linking Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele with runner-up Lamine Yamal, aiming to combine two of world soccer’s brightest talents.

With the Champions League and World Cup standing as the most coveted trophies of the 2025–26 season, Harry Kane has made a bold statement about the Ballon d’Or.

The official voting breakdown for the 2025 Ballon d’Or has now been revealed, finally showing how Dembele, Lamine Yamal, Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe, and the other superstars fared in the ballots.

Beyond the glitz of winning the Ballon d'Or, the headlines were shaped less by the trophy than by a flood of messages from soccer legends—Messi, Xavi, and Suarez among them. Yet one note touched Dembele more than all the rest.

Ousmane Dembélé joined legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi by winning his first Ballon d’Or after a historic season with PSG.

Days after the Ballon d'Or gala, FC Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick set the expectations for Lamine Yamal's return from injury.

In a remark that has sparked debate across Spain and beyond, Tebas gave an unusual seven-word explanation for why Yamal did not claim the Golden Ball—adding a mysterious twist to an already dramatic evening.

Barcelona’s reaction to Ousmane Dembele’s Ballon d’Or win has left many fans furious, with some accusing the club of disrespecting its very own wonderkid, Lamine Yamal.

Ousmane Dembele’s latest triumph has elevated him into a club of only ten players in the history of the sport, a distinction so unique that even Cristiano Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, and Ronaldo Nazario never touched it.

Raphinha ended in 5th place in the 2025 Ballon d'Or, and Neymar didn't doubt to react with a sharp message: "It's a joke."

Ousmane Dembélé won his first Ballon d’Or at age 28 after a stellar season with PSG, lifting the Ligue 1, French Cup, and Champions League.
