Lionel Messi has been nominated for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, his 17th career nomination, while Cristiano Ronaldo, who holds the record with 18, misses out on a nomination for the second consecutive year. The 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d’Or were revealed on Tuesday, with Lionel Messi among the names included on the list as he seeks his ninth career trophy at the ceremony set for October 26 in London. The Argentine, now playing for Inter Miami, remains in the conversation for football’s most prestigious individual honor even as he continues his career in MLS, a testament to how closely his season is still tracked by voters years after his move away from Europe. This marks Messi’s 17th career nomination for the award, extending a run that stretches back to the mid-2000s and placing him second on the all-time list for most nominations received. Only one player has been nominated more times than the Argentine throughout the award’s history. That player is Cristiano Ronaldo, who holds the record with 18 total nominations across his career, one more than Messi will have after this year’s list. The Portuguese forward, however, will not be adding to that tally in 2026, missing out on a nomination for the fourth consecutive year as he continues his spell with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

Whether Messi can add a ninth to that collection this October will depend on how voters weigh his 2026 World Cup and MLS exploits against a nominee pool once again dominated by Europe’s top performers.

Set to face FC Barcelona in the 26-27 UEFA Champions League, Ferran Torres candidly addressed that joining PSG is a "step forward" in his career. Ferran Torres transitioned from 2026 World Cup hero to marquee summer signing after finalizing a €50 million ($58 million USD) transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. Set to face FC Barcelona in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League, the Spanish forward described joining the reigning European champions as a “step forward” in his career. With Robert Lewandowski departing for the Chicago Fire as a free agent, Ferran Torres was initially positioned to serve as Barcelona’s primary focal point for the 2026-27 season, but with his contract expiring in 2027, a resolution regarding his long-term future became necessary. In an interview, Torres noted that “Barca have to show that they want me” to initiate contract extension talks, ultimately choosing a departure. During a Media Day organized by PSG, Ferran Torres addressed reporters to share details on how his transfer unfolded: “The contacts with PSG began even before the World Cup. They called us and we talked. Then I had already made up my mind because I wanted to play for a club like PSG. It is a step forward in my career that I am super proud of because I am joining the European champion.” Torres delivered an instant impact for PSG during his club debut against Stade Rennais after entering as a halftime substitute. Replacing Ousmane Dembele with PSG trailing 2-0, the Spaniard netted a second-half brace to secure a 2-2 draw, becoming just the third player in franchise history to score twice on his club debut alongside Patrick Mboma in 1994 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2012. Ferran Torres becomes the third player in history to score a brace on their PSG debut!#SRFCPSG pic.twitter.com/oUzIvH3X6M— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) August 24, 2026 He also expanded on his deep relationship with manager Luis Enrique, who previously coached him with Spain. “I have always said that Luis Enrique was like a father to me ever since I arrived at the Spanish National Team. He has always believed in me. He believed in me so that I would sign for PSG. He has always given me a lot of confidence, and I hope to repay it this season,” he added. Having featured across the frontline as a central attacker and wide winger at Barcelona and Manchester City, Torres offers tactical flexibility for Luis Enrique’s system. Following the departures of Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos, the Spaniard has integrated seamlessly into Paris Saint-Germain’s dynamic attacking setup. Ferran Torres to meet Barcelona again in the Champions League As if scripted by fate, the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League league phase draw paired Paris Saint-Germain against Barcelona. Having chosen a move to the French capital over remaining in Catalonia, Torres now prepares to face his former teammates just months after his exit. When asked about the upcoming fixture, the 26-year-old was straightforward regarding the emotion surrounding the matchup: “The match against Barcelona will be special. They were my teammates for four and a half years. It’s going to be an exciting match for me and for the team. PSG-Barcelona matches are always special. We will try to win, but we’ll see.“ The marquee clash between PSG and Barcelona at the Parc des Princes is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, with Torres aiming to help the club maintain its European dominance. “PSG is right now the best team in Europe. They’ve won the last two Champions Leagues. And that puts more pressure on our rivals. We have to improve. We’ll try to win the Champions League for the third consecutive year,” he concluded.
After the failed deal in the summer, FC Barcelona are reportedly set to go all out for Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez in the upcoming winter transfer window, with his signing turning into a "personal matter." Julian Alvarez pushed aggressively to seal a move to FC Barcelona during the 2026 summer transfer window, but Atletico Madrid‘s firm stance ultimately caused the deal to collapse. With relations frayed between the player and the supporters at Atletico, reports indicate that Barcelona view Alvarez’s signature as a “personal matter” and will pursue him relentlessly when the window reopens. During the 2026 World Cup, Julian Alvarez dropped a massive bombshell by making clear his intent to leave Atletico Madrid in order to “fulfill his career dream” of joining Barcelona. His public statement prompted CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin to issue a strict directive barring any negotiations with the Catalan club for the Argentine forward. An alternative exit route surfaced with Arsenal expressing interest, but Alvarez’s reluctance to return to England combined with his singular focus on Barcelona brought discussions to a complete standstill. Despite getting booed by Atletico supporters ahead of the deadline, the board’s refusal to negotiate with Barcelona prevented the move from going through, though the pursuit is far from over. According to Spanish insider David Bernabeu on Sport TV, Barcelona “are going to go all out” to secure Alvarez during the winter transfer window opening on January 1. The situation inside Camp Nou offices has intensified to the point that “it has become a personal matter,” the journalist reported. Julian Alvarez of Atletico de Madrid walks off the field. After the Alvarez deal fell through alongside the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Barcelona settled on a €10 million ($11.6 million USD) deadline-day deal for Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus. However, with the Brazilian limited to 13 goals across 54 appearances over his past two seasons, the club’s search for an elite long-term focal point like Alvarez remains fully active. Julian Alvarez receives advice from Atletico Madrid legend Having publicly declared his desire to leave, Alvarez’s relationship with the fanbase has grown hostile, as evidenced by his recent reception at the Metropolitano. During Atletico’s home opener against Villarreal, the Argentine was jeered by supporters whenever featured on the stadium screens, though he has received backing from a prominent club icon. Posting a video on his X account, Paulo Futre sent an open message to Alvarez, offering counsel on how to rebuild his standing with the Colchoneros: “Forgiveness isn’t with words, it’s with goals. And I have no doubt that you are going to give everything and sweat the jersey down to the last drop for this crest. Come on Atleti Julian! Let’s go, champion!“ Mensaje a Julián Álvarez pic.twitter.com/vmo2Fon448— Paulo Futre (@Futre) September 3, 2026 After arriving at Atletico in 1987 following a Champions League title with FC Porto, Futre spent eight seasons in the Spanish capital, totaling 209 appearances, 51 goals, and four assists while lifting two Copa del Rey trophies. His legacy extends beyond raw statistics, headlined by a memorable performance against Real Madrid in the 1992 Copa del Rey final and his famous rejection of a transfer to Los Blancos out of loyalty to Atletico.
Ferran Torres has revealed that his move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain was in motion long before the summer transfer window, with the forward admitting that he had already decided to join the ...
Lamine Yamal made a blunt assesment on Julian Alvarez' move to FC Barcelona: "We aren't lacking goals." Julian Alvarez stood as one of FC Barcelona‘s primary transfer targets during the 2026 summer window, but Atletico Madrid’s firm refusal to sell the Argentine international to a direct rival brought negotiations to a complete halt. With the window closing without a deal, Lamine Yamal offered a candid assessment that brushed off concerns regarding the failed pursuit: “We aren’t lacking goals.” After netting a brace against Rayo Vallecano, Yamal attended the Spanish Footballers Association (AFE) awards gala at Florida Park in Madrid. There, his peers voted him La Liga Player of the Year for the 2025-26 season, marking the second consecutive campaign in which the teenage star claimed the honor. Speaking to reporters at the event, Yamal was asked about the collapsed Alvarez pursuit and whether he would have welcomed the World Cup winner to Camp Nou: “Well, I think right now we’re doing very well. You can see it. We aren’t lacking goals. Obviously Julian is a great player, but I’m very happy with the squad we have.“ The early statistical returns support Yamal’s confidence, as Barcelona lead La Liga in scoring despite navigating the opening fixtures without a traditional starting No. 9. Following a 5-0 victory over Elche, a 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao, and a 5-2 result against Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona have racked up 12 goals to outpace Real Madrid’s tally of 10. 🏅🏆 ¡Lamine Yamal (@FCBarcelona_es), Mejor jugador de Primera División de la temporada 25/26 en la V Edición #PremiosAFE! pic.twitter.com/1VObPSVF7D— AFE (@afefutbol) September 1, 2026 Head coach Hansi Flick has deployed Raphinha in a fluid central role rather than a fixed target man, partnering him with Anthony Gordon on the left flank and Yamal on the right. When asked whether Barcelona or Real Madrid boast the superior front three, Yamal offered a direct response: “That’s not our competition, we want to win everything,” the 19-year-old stated. Lamine Yamal changes position on Alvarez While Alvarez remained on Barcelona’s radar for months, transfer speculation intensified during the 2026 World Cup when the forward publicly expressed a desire to “fulfill his dream,” signaling an intent to leave Atletico Madrid. At the time, Yamal spoke openly about the prospect of teaming up with the Argentine. “Right now I’m not thinking about it much, but I hope so, because he is a great player. If he comes, we will welcome him with open arms because he will be coming to the best club in the world, to the best fanbase in the world, and to the best city in the world for me,” Yamal told Cadena SER during the initial speculation. Barcelona’s attack composition Barcelona navigated significant frontline turnover after parting ways with several focal points from last season’s roster, including Robert Lewandowski (who joined Chicago Fire as a free agent), Ferran Torres (transferred to PSG in a €55 million / $63.8 million USD deal), and Marcus Rashford (who returned to Manchester United following his loan spell). In response, manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco orchestrated an aggressive retooling of the attack. Barcelona secured high-profile moves for Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United and Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund for a reported €29 million ($33.6 million USD) fee, adding versatile wide attackers capable of playing across the line. As the deadline approached and Atletico held firm on Alvarez, Barcelona secured Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus in a €10 million ($11.6 million USD) deal to provide a proven central option. What will happen to Julian Alvarez? Julian Alvarez pushed for an exit from Atletico Madrid, attracting inquiries from top European sides including PSG and Arsenal, but the forward prioritized a move to Barcelona while dismissing a return to England. With the window shutting without an agreement, Alvarez will remain with Atletico, who have already reinfo
Hansi Flick is very happy to welcome Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona – but Julián Álvarez remains the ultimate prizeIf Raphinha has any misgivings about playing as a makeshift No 9 for Barcelona, he is doing a good job of hiding it. Julián Álvarez would have been proud of the Brazilian’s two neat finishes that inspired the Spanish champions to a 5-2 victory against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, 24 hours before the transfer deadline. Lamine Yamal scored two wonderful goals of his own in a performance that reassured everyone he is back to his best. Add Anthony Gordon to the mix – impressive again in his link-up play – and you have a fluid, fearsome front three.Yet after the departures of Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford this summer, there is no doubt Barcelona not only still want a centre-forward but require one – at least one. Hansi Flick was very happy to see Gabriel Jesus, an £8.6m arrival from Arsenal, in the stands. “He’s a top striker,” the coach said. But Atlético Madrid’s Álvarez is the ultimate prize.
