Real Madrid defender Fran Garcia has named Paris Saint-Germain and Spain international midfielder Fabian Ruiz as his primary pick to win the upcoming Ballon d'Or award, placing him ahead of Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal and Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
Speaking during an interview ahead of the international break, Garcia acknowledged that Spain's recent success has produced multiple world-class contenders. While acknowledging Yamal's stellar campaign—where the youngster registered 24 goals and 17 assists across 45 appearances for Barcelona while winning La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup—Garcia emphasized that Fabian Ruiz’s pivotal influence for both PSG and the Spanish national team makes him the most deserving recipient. The 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony is scheduled to take place on October 26 in London, where the world's top footballing talents will be formally recognized.
