Tomorrow at 15.30 the list of candidate players will be official. PSG European champion players could appear en masse, or almost. But the surprises will not fail …
It is the most anticipated duel, for the most coveted prize. But no longer between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. After the unexpected success of Rodri a year ago, for the golden ball, however, it is now time for new protagonists. If the award ceremony organized by the monthly France Football with UEFA is scheduled for September 22 in Paris, the list of thirty candidates will already be made tomorrow by 15.30. A list of aspirants that includes well -known faces, with Yamal and Dembélé in the role of favorites, but perhaps also some surprises, like perhaps MCTominay of Napoli, among the leaders of the Napoli champion of Italy.

In any case, of the chosen thirties, many should play at home. The Triplete of the PSG first pushes the name of Dembélé, a true driver of the Miro del Qatar club that won the first Champions League thanks to his goals (8 in Europe and 35 in all) and his games, always at the service of the team of Luis Enrique. A team often saved from the parades of Donnarumma that could appear on the category prize list, already won in 2021 and carve out a place in the general one. Just like other locker room comrades: Vitinha, Faro del midfield, Hakimi, the best right back in circulation, or double seasonal revelation with brace and assists in the final against Inter. And despite the final lost in Munich, he should not leave the Lautaro circle, perhaps accompanied by Thuram, decisive in the double semifinal with Barcelona.
DISPERSION
–
Here, Barcelona, in fact. From here perhaps the strongest candidacy arrives. That of Yamal, exploded worldwide, even without raising the Champions League. The Catalan won everything at home with the appearance Raphinha, candidate from Co-Miglior Cannoniere of the Champions League, and could take advantage of the dispersion of votes on the many probable Parisians present. In any case, the impact on the Blaugrana season should guarantee him a gap on the other protagonist in Liga: Mbappé who perhaps did not win much with Real Madrid (European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup), but has marked more than all, also winning the golden shoe.

There will be the usual known: Salah, who returned to shine with Liverpool, Harry Kane, for the first time champion of something career with Bayern Munich, Haaland, Vinicius or Lewandowski. But there could also be room for elements at MCTominay, among the protagonists with his 12 goals of the Napoli Scudetto, not taken for granted but concretized also thanks to the absence on the European scene, inevitably penalizing in a year without European or world.
