From the source
Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham just missed out on a place in the final top-10 at the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony. This comes amid confirmation of the midfielder being voted into the No.
Bellingham for his part actually endured something of a hit-and-miss season from an individual standpoint in 2025/26. As Real Madrid struggled as a collective to gel on the pitch, the 23-year-old was amongst those to suffer a drop in output and overall performance level alike.
At this summer’s World Cup, however, Bellingham reminded anyone who may have forgotten of his absolutely unquestionable talents. En route to a semi-final finish for England, the former Borussia Dortmund talent emerged as the Three Lions’ driving force, single-handedly dragging his teammates through in more than one fixture.
