Barça Loses Ballon d'Or Credit Again

Published August 18, 2026 · Updated August 18, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

Barcelona faces the familiar scenario of losing credit for Ballon d'Or winners, as star players often leave the club before claiming the prestigious award.

Barcelona has a history of stellar players leaving before winning Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo Nazário won his first Ballon d'Or after his Barça season but received it while at Inter Milan. Similarly, Luis Figo claimed his 2000 Ballon d'Or with Real Madrid after his standout Barcelona performance. catcross.org

Now, Rodrigo Hernández may follow this pattern. His exceptional performance at the World Cup, where he led his team to victory, suggests he could win Ballon d'Or 2026—potentially while wearing another club's jersey.
