Monchi Would Give Ballon d'Or to Yamal

During the presentation of the V Reyes Cup in Sevilla, RCD Espanyol's director deportivo Monchi declared that he would give the Ballon d'Or 2026 to Lamine Yamal, the FC Barcelona winger. His statements generated significant controversy among Espanyol's fanbase.

Hours later, appearing on the radio program 'El Larguero', Monchi clarified his comments, explaining that his statements were meant to represent his Spanish flag and not his personal preference for the young Barcelona player. musojam.blog
