Eric Garcia Backs Lamine Yamal for 2026 Ballon d'Or
Eric Garcia, a defender for FC Barcelona, has confidently stated that his teammate Lamine Yamal should win the 2026 Ballon d'Or. Garcia emphasized that Yamal is a strong candidate for the prestigious award, which will be announced next month.
He suggested that the podium should feature Barcelona players, naming Yamal as the winner, followed by Raphinha and Pedri as runners-up. Garcia expressed disbelief that Raphinha and Pedri were not included in the list of 30 players nominated for the award, stating, “Without a doubt, Lamine has to win, but that Raphinha and Pedri are not there seems incredible to me.” This statement underscores Garcia's support for his teammates and highlights the talent present within FC Barcelona.
