PSG set Ballon d'Or nominations record but back no number one among Ousmane Dembélé, Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia and Fabian Ruiz | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, PSG have 10 of the 30 Ballon d'Or nominees, including new signing Ferran Torres, a record. Yet the European champions are not backing a single number one among Ousmane Dembélé, Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia and Fabian Ruiz.

Last year's winner, Ousmane Dembélé is again counted among the leading contenders.

The ballot appears unusually open, with arguments raging over criteria from individual scoring to collective silverware. The balance between the World Cup and the Champions League is also being disputed.

PSG are content to wait, the question lingering at their Poissy base for a few more weeks.

The 2026 Ballon d'Or winner will be revealed on 26 October in London.
