Classement de Sadio Mané au Ballon d'or 2026 : L'avis catégorique de Gérard Piqué
The Senegalese star is the only African footballer nominated among France Football's 30 best players in the world for 2026, along with Morocco's Achraf Hakimi. Winner of the Saudi Pro League and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (in February 2026), Sadio Mané, however, hasn't entirely convinced former FC Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué.
Asked for his opinion on the 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, the Spaniard, who retired a few years ago, believes the Senegalese winger will be among the lowest-ranked. "Sadio Mané, for me, will be near the bottom," he said. Gerard Piqué believes the two-time African champion's 2025-2026 season doesn't warrant a higher Ballon d'Or ranking.
According to the former central defender, the 3 favorites to win this trophy are Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Rodri (FC Barcelona).
It is worth remembering that Sadio Mané was the highest-ranked African player in the Ballon d'Or since George Weah's victory in 1996, reaching second place in 2022, behind Karim Benzema.
