Benatia compares Yamal to Mbappé
Mehdi Benatia expressed his opinion regarding the controversy surrounding the 2026 Ballon d'Or, stating that Kylian Mbappé deserves to win it after his exceptional performance, especially considering he finished the season as the top scorer in the Champions League and contributed significantly to his team. He confirmed that Mbappé's recent statements were not to his liking, but he admires his intelligence and knowledge of football, noting that other players like Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé were more gracious in their comments. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, 2026, amid global anticipation to see who will win, following the announcement of a list of 30 nominees by France Football magazine and the Union of European Football Associations.
