PSG placed 10 players in the 2026 Ballon d'Or top 30, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sixth, Ousmane Dembélé seventh, and Fabian Ruiz 10th. Here's the full ranking.
The 2026 Ballon d'Or ranking is now known, and Ousmane Dembélé, the 2025 winner, will not achieve a back-to-back, finishing seventh despite his crucial role in the club's second consecutive UEFA Champions League title last season.
The Parisian number 10, however, took the stage in London on Monday night to collect the men's club of the year trophy, which PSG won for the second year in a row.
Another Parisian favorite for the distinction, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia finishes sixth in the 2026 Ballon d'Or, six places better than last year but still short of his hopes. Fabian Ruiz gains 14 places in a year and finishes 10th in the 2026 Ballon d'Or.
After finishing sixth last season, Achraf Hakimi ranked 13th in 2026, while Vitinha dropped from third to 14th this year. The only scorer in the last 2026 World Cup final before leaving Barça for PSG, Ferran Torres finishes 16th in this 2026 Ballon d'Or, while João Neves keeps his 19th place from last year.
In his first appearance in this ranking, Willian Pacho finishes 20th, while Nuno Mendes, 10th last year, falls to 23rd. Finally, captain Marquinhos finishes 25th, better than in his first nomination in 2019, when he finished 28th.
