Monchi Controversial Ballon d'Or Comment

During the presentation of the V Reyes Cup in Seville yesterday, Monchi, current sporting director of RCD Espanyol, declared he would give the 2026 Ballon d'Or to Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona's young winger. His comments immediately sparked controversy among the white-and-blue team's supporters.

Hours later, Monchi attempted to clarify his position during the radio program 'El Larguero' on SER, when host Manu Carreño once again asked about his preference for the prestigious award. The sporting director suggested his initial statement was made while representing Spain rather than his personal opinion. fish-roadgame.com
