Unai Emery strongly backs Fabian Ruiz for the 2026 Ballon d’Or
While the 2026 Ballon d’Or will be awarded this evening, former Paris Saint‑Germain manager Unai Emery expressed on Spanish television a very decisive opinion: he believes that the Basque midfielder Fabian Ruiz should win the trophy.
Emery, who managed the Parisian club from 2020 to 2022, said that Ruiz's performances in the Champions League and the league fully justify such recognition.
The Ballon d’Or vote, scheduled for tonight, will determine whether the Basque's recommendation will be followed by journalists worldwide.
