🚨 XABI ALONSO JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL ON THE BALLON D’OR 🎙️Reporter: “Xabi, what do you think about the Ballon d’Or nominations? Who do you believe deserves to win?” Xabi Alonso:🗣️ “For me, the Ballon d’Or has never been only about statistics, goals or assists. It is also about character, leadership, mentality and the way you carry yourself as a footballer. “When I hear Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé speak about the Ballon d’Or as if it is something they are entitled to, I disagree with that mentality. The Ballon d’Or is an honour. It is not a player’s right. “Yamal is an extraordinary talent and Mbappé is one of the best players in the world. But talent and reputation alone should not guarantee you this award. “If you ask me who deserves it based on the complete picture, I would say Harry Kane or Michael Olise. They have shown quality, consistency, mentality and the character you expect from a Ballon d’Or winner. “You cannot simply assume that because you are Lamine Yamal or Kylian Mbappé, the award should belong to you. That is not how I understand the Ballon d’Or. “The best player is not necessarily the person who talks the loudest about winning it. Sometimes, the player who deserves the recognition is the one who lets his football speak for him.”
