Gerard Martin Backs Lamine Yamal for Ballon d’Or 2026
Gerard Martin, a star player for FC Barcelona, has publicly endorsed his teammate Lamine Yamal for the Ballon d’Or 2026, declaring him the best player in the world at present. In an interview with TV3 (via MARCA), Martin emphasized that while various factors influence the award, it should ultimately go to the best player, which he believes is Yamal.
He also mentioned that Pau Cubarsi should be recognized for his outstanding season, suggesting he deserves a high position in the rankings, if not on the podium. Lamine Yamal, a 19-year-old winger from Spain, has been shortlisted among the 30 players competing for the prestigious Ballon d’Or next month.
He faces tough competition from prominent players such as Harry Kane from Bayern Munich and Kylian Mbappe from Real Madrid.
