Fabian Ruiz says no one matched his title haul in Ballon d'Or bid | OneFootball

Fabian Ruiz says his World Cup and Champions League double puts him among the leading contenders for the Ballon d'Or.

Ruiz said: "In terms of titles, no one has had a better season than me. Individually, great players have had an excellent season. A World Cup with your country is the biggest title you can win." He told L'Equipe.

The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder missed three months with a knee injury, yet feels his decisive contributions merit inclusion in the debate.

He also recognises fierce competition, namechecking Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal as a major rival.

Ruiz believes collective honours should carry weight with voters, not just individual statistics.

Attention now turns to Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain facing Marseille on September 20. Ruiz will hope to strengthen his case further.
