Fabián Ruiz, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder and 2026 world champion with Spain, answered questions from Téléfoot in an interview that will be broadcast in full this Sunday. An excerpt has already been shared, with the PSG player invited to discuss the possibility of winning the Ballon d’Or in October.

Ruiz: “it’s a dream for any footballer”

I think it’s a dream for any footballer to be recognized individually for all the work done during this season or over several seasons in a row. I’ve been lucky enough to win many team titles, very few individual ones, but why not dream this year of coming as close as possible to lifting this trophy, which is something very special. It would be an honor for me to lift the Ballon d’Or.

Without getting too far ahead of himself, Ruiz is not hiding the fact that he allows himself to dream about the Ballon d’Or. It would be a wonderful reward for a football player, even if the team always remains the main priority. And the Spanish midfielder has just had an exceptional season, notably with the Champions League and the World Cup. Enough to hope for a strong placing in the running for this trophy.

However, the competition will be extremely tough. At PSG, but also in other teams. Everyone has their favorites, and the voting promises to be very close this year. Ruiz remains very cautious, moreover. There is no question of presenting himself as a leading candidate or making it an obsession. Still, a little hope is allowed, and the PSG midfielder would certainly savor it.
