Because it's Lamine Yamal, and everyone seems to hate the kid. People are afraid of what he could achieve if he wins the Euros, World Cup and Ballon d'Or all before turning 20.
There's politics involved, too. He raised the Palestine flag and the powers that be don't like that.
That's the only truth.
Every Spanish member of the World Cup-winning team was winning their respective categories until it was Lamine Yamal. Luis de la Fuente won Coach of the Year, Unai Simón won Goalkeeper of the Year, but when it was Lamine’s turn, they robbed him. He couldn't even finish in the top two.
I knew his path to the Ballon d'Or was going to be difficult the moment he raised the Palestinian flag. I knew that could be the beginning of his troubles.
I loved his speech when he received the Kopa Trophy, though. He reminded them that he's outgrown the award and that it should be Cubarsí's turn to win it.
Personally, I'm not even that mad about the Ballon d'Or result because, after yesterday's performance against Real Madrid, I said maybe Lamine needed to be humbled, go back to the drawing board, and work on his game. He needs that motivation again, and I thought missing out on the Ballon d'Or could give him exactly that.
But make no mistake about it: Lamine Yamal was the best player in the world in 2026.
Harry Kane couldn't even win the Bundesliga Player of the Year award. He didn't win England's Player of the Year, the Champions League, or the World Cup. Yet somehow, we're supposed to believe Lamine wasn't even among the top two players in the world?
But it is what it is.
Lamine Yamal needs to take his mind off the Ballon d'Or and focus on football. He's still young, and there's so much more for him to achieve. Unfortunately, being openly pro-Palestine could make his journey to individual football honours even more difficult.

Hate this “he will win it in the future” nonsense. Lamine can get his ACL cooked in the alaves match. There’s no guarantee of a tomorrow.
Perso j’ai envie que le jour où Lamine gagne un ballon d’or, que ça ne souffre d’aucune contestation possible et qu’il mette tout le monde d’accord
C’est la meilleure chose qui pouvait lui arriver imo. Il n’a que 19 piges et il a déjà terminé dans le top 3 du ballon d’or sur les 2 dernières années
J’espère pour lui que ces « échecs » vont le motiver à bosser 2 fois + maintenant s’il ne veut pas se retrouver dans 10 ans comme Mbappe à qui on prédisait 15 ballons d’or et 10 C1 dans sa jeunesse
Nombre d’interviews avant le ballon d’or :
Harry Kane : 11
Kylian Mbappé : 9
Lamine yamal : 7
Et ça dit que c’est les autres qui ont fait campagne et pas lui🤣🤣🤣🤣 ils ont tous fait campagne arrêtez de vous foutre des gens

Uno de los hándicaps para que Lamine pueda ganar algún día el BDO es que haga lo que haga jamás ningún medio de este país hará candidatura para que se lo lleve. Así marque 60 goles, gane tropecientos títulos o lo que sea. Antes por cualquier otro extranjero u otro jugador.
Espanya ha guanyat el Mundial i tot el país s'ha dedicat a fer campanya per un jugador francès que no ha guanyat res només perquè juga al Madrid. El Nacionalmadridisme és això. Tota la vida ha set el mateix. Lamine hauria guanyat ahir si jugués al Madrid. I Messi en tindria 15.

Mbappe and Lamine did not lose because of PR campaigns.
Secondly, Harry Kane did as much interviews as the aforementioned, the difference is that his name won’t generate clicks like them.
Let’s start with the interview he did with Owen Hargreaves on TNT, and in that interview, Hargreaves played voice notes of other players like Michael Owen wishing him well. This was a month ago and it didn’t generate up to 120k views, which buttresses my earlier point, watch here: youtu.be/JLwv_xIg5JI
Kane did another interview in August with Gazzetta dello Sport, he specifically even said the golden boot was great but he wanted the BDOR. He was even saying what more would he have to do? (Link here: gazzetta.it/en/football/cham…). On the red carpet tonight, that same phrase was repeated.
He did another interview with Marca in September, where he said the 73 goals speaks for itself, link here: marca.com/en/football/bundes…
He also did another interview with The Athletic. You can check that.
There were also little nuggets here and there from him across different interviews.
People like Fabrizio are known to farm. Mbappe could have done one interview where a journalist asks him questions, guess what, Fabrizio will break this small interview into several tweets.
To us, we’re saying Mbappe and Lamine are talking too much, but you won’t believe it’s just one interview Fabrizio has posted 25 times. I clocked it not long ago when I saw an interview myself.
Look at all these interviews I quoted, Fab could do that for Kane and generate as many headlines as possible, but maybe they won’t give him the number he’s looking for.
Again, Kane had as much interviews as the rest of them.
When Mbappé and Yamal started doing interviews and pushing PR campaigns, I had a feeling they might lose the Ballon d’Or. Harry Kane was wise enough to stay silent, humble and focused.
To every talented young footballer dreaming of winning the Ballon d’Or, my advice is simple: leave the Premier League, that league is too serious and will never allow you to express yourself. You can only come back as a superstar. Congratulations to Harry Kane once again.

Es decir que Lamine para ganar el balón de oro está obligado a hacer algo que no ha logrado el jugador que acaba de ganar el balón de oro. Niveles de exigencia por encima de resto
Muhammad Butt retweeted
C’est mérité pour Harry Kane. Il a fait passer un cap au Bayern en remportant la Bundesliga, il a permis cet été à l’Angleterre d’atteindre 60 ans sans remporter la Coupe du Monde, bravo !
