Fabián Ruiz is in the race for the 2026 Ballon d’Or after a season full of titles. Among the candidates, he won the most team trophies.
He won the World Cup with Spain and the Champions League with PSG. In his latest comments, he said: “It’s not about campaigning; it’s about having your work recognized”.
“I’ve had a fantastic year. I’ve been lucky enough to win the most important competitions. We all like to have our work recognized”.
His candidacy was backed by another statistic: he had gone 51 matches for the Spanish national team without a defeat.
For an individual award, Ruiz had the backing of shared titles and a streak that remained intact.
