Meanwhile, Yamal, at just 19 years old, has dazzled with his performances at Barcelona and with the Spanish national team, which has generated comparisons with Lionel Messi.\n\nRodri, winner of the award the previous year, is not on the list due to a knee injury that kept him off the field until the penultimate match of the Premier League season with Manchester City.\n\nIn the list, Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 is accompanied by eight other PSG teammates, including D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9, Achraf Hakimi and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0807%2Fr1528873_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Lamine Yamal y Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 are some of the favorites to win this year&#8217;s Ballon d&#8217;Or.<\/em>\n\nDespite the French club&#8217;s dominance, the Premier League is the league with the most representatives on the list.
