Nacho Fernandez Backs Kylian Mbappe for 2026 Ballon d'Or

Nacho Fernandez, the former captain of Real Madrid, has publicly named Kylian Mbappe as his preferred candidate for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. In an interview with El Larguero, he stated that while he would be happy to vote for a player from Real Madrid or the Spanish national team, he would choose Mbappe due to his impressive speed and goal-scoring ability.
Nacho, who enjoyed a successful career at Real Madrid after progressing through the club's youth academy, left the team in the summer of 2024 to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Qadsiah. He highlighted that he would not object to voting for a Barcelona player if the choice was justified, reflecting his respect for players across rival clubs.
The 70th edition of the Ballon d'Or is set to be awarded next month, featuring numerous elite players vying for the prestigious accolade.
