The 30-man shortlist for the 2026 Ballon d'Or has been announced, with Spanish Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabian Ruiz included.
Fabian Ruiz is the player on the 30-man Ballon d'Or shortlist with the most outstanding collective honors. At the club level, he helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League, Ligue 1, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and French Super Cup last season. Although he made only 34 appearances due to injury, contributing 2 goals and 5 assists, he returned to the starting lineup in time for the Champions League final.
For the Spanish national team, Fabian Ruiz returned to the starting lineup in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final, and opened the scoring against Belgium, helping Spain ultimately win the World Cup.
Fabian Ruiz became the only player this year to win both the World Cup and the Champions League, and the 12th in history. At the same time, he also maintained an unbeaten record across all 50 of his national team appearances.
