The owner of the "Ballon d’Or 1991", Frenchman Jean-Pierre Papin, made a prediction about who should win the award for the best football player in the world this year.

Jean-Pierre Papin

Despite the presence of many French football players, including PSG players, in the list of candidates for the "Ballon d’Or 2025", Papin named 18-year-old Barcelona star Lamine Yamal as the favorite, according to Marca.

"For me, Yamal was the best. He had a fantastic season and showed an exceptional level of play," Papin emphasized.

The presentation of the "Ballon d’Or" will take place on September 27 at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris.
