Davido Supports Lamine Yamal After 2026 Ballon d'Or Loss
On October 26, 2026, the Ballon d'Or ceremony took place in London, where Harry Kane won the prestigious award, ending England's 25-year wait for a winner since Michael Owen in 2001. Kylian Mbappé secured second place, while Lamine Yamal, the 19-year-old Barcelona sensation, finished third.
Many had anticipated Yamal could become the youngest winner of the Golden Ball. Following the event, Yamal addressed the outcome on Instagram on October 27, 2026, expressing composure despite the disappointment.
His post resonated widely, prompting Nigerian superstar Davido to comment in support, which garnered over 7,000 likes. Yamal has now missed out on the main prize for the second consecutive year, while Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente also commented on Yamal's performance at the ceremony.
