BREAKING: William Gallas Predicts Ballon d’Or 2026 Winner – ‘He’s the Clear Favourite’

According to a report by Daily Post on Friday July 24, 2026, former Arsenal and Chelsea defender William Gallas has named his favourite to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, with the Frenchman backing Spain and Barcelona star Lamine Yamal to claim the prestigious individual award.

The winner of the 2026 Ballon d’Or is expected to be announced at a ceremony in London on October 26, with several of the world’s leading players expected to compete for the prize.

Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Ousmane Dembélé won the previous edition of the award in 2025, but Gallas believes Yamal is now the leading contender to succeed him.Achieve Your Desires.

The former France international pointed to Yamal’s performances during Spain’s successful 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign as a major reason for his prediction.

Yamal played an important role as Spain lifted the World Cup, with the teenager producing impressive performances despite reportedly dealing with an injury at the beginning of the tournament.

For Gallas, Spain’s triumph on the biggest international stage gives Yamal a major advantage in the Ballon d’Or race.

“Harry Kane didn’t have a great, great World Cup. Even if he scored goals, his World Cup was not the best. So, forget about Harry Kane winning the Ballon d’Or,” Gallas told iPredicta, as quoted by Yahoo Sports.

“You have to be focused on players like Lamine Yamal, who I think is the number one because he won the World Cup and his performances were good, despite having an injury at the start.”See more
