The Ballon d'Or ceremony is fast approaching. It will take place on October 26 in London, where the name of the player succeeding Ousmane Dembélé will be revealed, unless the Frenchman wins the award again. This date marks the climax of the season.

The favorites and Kompany's choice

Among the contenders are Kylian Mbappé, the Spanish midfielder Rodri, the prodigy Lamine Yamal and the English striker Harry Kane. Michael Olise is also mentioned as a serious candidate. The public is waiting to see if the Frenchman, often described as French, will retain the trophy.

Vincent Kompany said at a press conference: “I want my players to succeed, so I will be 100 % partial and will say that as long as Harry Kane or Michael Olise win it, I will be happy.” He thus highlighted Kane and Olise as his personal favorites.

The Belgian recalled that his team had scored 182 goals last season, an average of 3.5 goals per match, a record in the five major leagues. “Those guys were part of a team that scored 182 goals, I don’t know if there has ever been a team that has scored more goals per match,” he said.

Regarding the importance of the Champions League, Kompany added: “We did not win the Champions League, so we must give everything to the players who have won it, even if the Ballon d’Or could be influenced by that trophy.” He acknowledged that the Champions League winner could have an advantage.

Some media even wrote Dembél instead of Dembélé, and the nickname Mbapp circulates on social networks, but the official player remains Ousmane Dembélé. The debate continues as to whether the Ballon d’Or will depend more on Champions League performances or individual exploits.
