Fabian Ruiz has his sights on Real Betis and the Ballon d’Or! | OneFootball

Fabián Ruiz, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain and Spain midfielder, spoke in the mixed zone after the celebrations following La Roja’s victory in the 2026 World Cup last Sunday. He notably addressed the possibility of winning the Ballon d’Or, but also his future, which he hopes will involve Real Betis. Without forgetting a possible sanction for the Argentinians following their behavior at the World Cup.

Ruiz: “I was able to cap off a historic year”

Do you hope to win the Ballon d’Or?

Who wouldn’t want to win a Ballon d’Or? I’m delighted with my season, I won the Champions League and the World Cup. If I’m in the running, it will be an honor.

A special season?

I was lucky enough to win everything. The only thing I was missing was the World Cup, and well, the truth is I was able to cap off a historic year and I’m very happy with all the trophies I’ve won. The greatest trophy is the affection of all the people. The welcome the whole city gave us.

Ruiz: “I can’t wait to come back”

Is a return to Real Betis still in your plans?

The truth is yes. I’ve always said so. I’ve never hidden it. I can’t wait to come back. It gets closer every day. I’m a Betis supporter and I really hope to return there one day.

Dani Ceballos at Betis?

I haven’t been able to speak with him… during the World Cup, I barely spoke to anyone. But hopefully his transfer will go through. And if he returns to Betis, I’ll be delighted for all the supporters.

Ruiz: “They did something that goes against the spirit of sportsmanship”

A sanction against the Argentinians after the World Cup?

There are other issues that are beyond our control. I think so. They did something that goes against the spirit of sportsmanship, the spirit of football. We celebrated the victory normally, like any other team. That kind of behavior does not reflect well on world football, and I’m happy to have won the World Cup.
