Platini Bets on Kvaratskhelia for 2026 Ballon d’Or
Former UEFA president Michel Platini has publicly stated that he has placed a bet on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or award. Platini believes Kvaratskhelia deserves the accolade due to his achievements, including winning both the Ligue 1 and the Champions League titles.
In his remarks, Platini notably did not endorse his fellow Frenchman, Kylian Mbappe, who recently made history by becoming the all-time top scorer at the World Cup. Mbappe also won the Pichichi award while playing for Real Madrid.
Platini expressed his confidence in Kvaratskhelia, stating, “For the Ballon d’Or, I’d put a small bet on the Paris Saint-Germain player, Kvaratskhelia. He won the Champions League title with Paris Saint-Germain.”.
