uol.com.br (Portuguese) —

Columnists debate Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or win, with Arnaldo favoring Mbappé as the best player while Rodrigo Mattos praises Kane's discretion during the campaign. Arnaldo said season achievements weigh in the debate but don't change his view on Mbappé's technical superiority, also citing Lamine Yamal as relevant. Mattos reported pre-award leaks caused confusion, with Mbappé finishing second and Yamal third. Mattos noted Kane avoided self-promotion unlike rivals who campaigned publicly, which he appreciated. Rômulo Mendonça called Kane extraordinary, praising his playing style as distinct from other candidates' more "caricatured" profiles.
