Mourinho on Ballon d'Or: Should go to history maker
Jose Mourinho, the coach of Real Madrid, clarified that the Ballon d'Or should be awarded to players who leave a historic legacy that goes beyond just winning a single title. He considered Kylian Mbappé the closest candidate to win it, due to his achievements in making history, especially as the top scorer in the World Cup with 22 goals in 22 matches. Mourinho criticized relying on victories in the Champions League or the World Cup as indicators for winning the award, emphasizing that there is a political aspect involved in the selection process. He stated that it should be awarded to players who have made history on an individual level. Despite Mbappé's success in scoring goals and his remarkable career, he did not win any titles this year, and France exited the 2026 World Cup semifinals.
