mathrubhumi.com (Malayalam) —

The 2026 Ballon d'Or winner will be announced within hours at the London Palladium, with Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappe, and Harry Kane as the main contenders. AI firm Avicia gives Yamal a 23 percent chance of winning, followed by Kane at 21 percent and Mbappe at 19 percent. Betting markets favor Kane with a 70 percent probability after his 73 goals last season. Yamal won the World Cup with Spain and La Liga with Barcelona, while Mbappe claimed the World Cup Golden Boot but lacked major team trophies. A win would make Yamal the youngest-ever Ballon d'Or recipient.
