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.
