Tebas Says Yamal and Vinicius Are the Top Picks to Win 2025 Ballon d’Or
LaLiga President Javier Tebas has picked his two favorites for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. While last year’s winner was Manchester City’s Rodri, edging out Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr, Tebas believes this year’s top prize will come down to Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal and Vinicius.
He told @TouchlineX that the award should be a contest between these two stars. Yamal impressed last season by helping Barcelona secure both LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, and he also played a key role in leading Spain to the Nations League final.
Vinicius had a solid campaign with Real Madrid, though the Brazilian didn’t claim any major trophies like LaLiga, Copa del Rey, or the Champions League this time around. The Ballon d’Or winner will be revealed this September, but Tebas is clear: it’s all about Yamal and Vinicius.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
