Far from any speculation, Lamine Yamal’s<\/strong> favoritism in the Ballon d’Or 2025<\/a><\/strong> is sustained by his own merits thanks to a unique combination of sporting, media and emotional factors.<\/p>

And despite the theoretical advantage of Demb\u00e9l\u00e9<\/strong>, there are clear signs that warn that the Barcelona star<\/strong> is also a serious candidate to be crowned in Paris.<\/p>

1. Massive leak with concrete figures<\/h2>

The most powerful trigger has been the leak replicated by Pablo Giralt<\/a><\/strong>, which places Lamine as the winner with 805 points<\/strong>, just five more than Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9<\/strong>. The numerical specificity and its global viralization reinforce the veracity of the information.<\/p>

\"Leaked<\/p>

Faced with the controversy generated, France Football<\/strong> has assured that the winner of the Ballon d’Or<\/strong> will only be revealed at the official ceremony, not before, reducing credibility to the leak. However, there are very powerful indicators that could sustain its veracity.<\/p>

\u2705 Multiple independent sources have replicated the same information<\/p>

The Ballon d’Or<\/strong> has rewarded unique narratives on other occasions, such as Ronaldo (21), Owen (22), Messi (21)<\/strong>, Ronaldinho or Kak\u00e1<\/strong> at 25 years old. With Yamal, voters would have the opportunity to reward a talent of just 18, consolidating a change of era.<\/p>
