The 2026 Ballon d’Or panned out in the worst possible manner for Barcelona, who only had Lamine Yamal’s Kopa Trophy to cheer for in terms of individual awards in men’s category.
Other than that, Yamal finished third behind Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane, who eventually won the Ballon d’Or after an extraordinary season with Bayern Munich.
Many believe Yamal was robbed for not being given the Ballon d’Or and one of them is none other than former Manchester City star Samir Nasri.
