🚨BOMBAZO: MBAPPÉ ESTALLA CONTRA FRANCE FOOTBALL TRAS PERDER EL BALÓN DE ORO CONTRA HARRY KANE — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01Mbappé refused to applaud Harry Kane
- 0:03in front of everyone with the cameras
- 0:05pointed at him. And what happened
- 0:08afterwards in the corridors of the
- 0:10London Palladium, according to those
- 0:11around him, is the biggest controversy
- 0:13in the history of the Ballon d'Or.
- 0:15Because Mbappé didn't go back to his
- 0:17hotel quietly; he sought out the France
- 0:19Football people and dropped a line that
- 0:21is already circulating all over Paris
- 0:23tonight. I didn't come here to leave
- 0:25with nothing. That’s what he said
- 0:28right to the faces of the award
- 0:29organizers. But before we get into the
- 0:31mud, there is one thing that must be
- 0:33said. Congratulations to Spanish
- 0:35football, because tonight in London,
- 0:37Spain has won everything. Best women's
- 0:40club, Barça. Best young player, Lamine
- 0:43. Best young female player, Vicky
- 0:45LĂłpez. Best coach, Luis de la Fuente.
- 0:48Best women's football coach, Pérez
- 0:50Romeu. Best goalkeeper, Unai SimĂłn.
- 0:53Best female goalkeeper, Cata Coll.
- 0:55Everything, absolutely everything,
- 0:57except for the Ballon d'Or. So
- 0:59congratulations to Spanish football,
- 1:01because there is plenty more to come.
- 1:03And now, let’s get to the scandal.
- 1:06What else did Mbappé say to the France
- 1:08Football crew? What is being talked
- 1:10about tonight in the Madrid luxury box?
- 1:12And how is it possible that a player
- 1:14without a single title finished ahead
- 1:16of Lamine? Stay until the end because
- 1:18the fact about the runner-up will leave
- 1:20you speechless. If you're a Culé and
- 1:23your blood is boiling tonight, hit the
- 1:24like button and subscribe. Let’s go.
- 1:28A gala that started 45 minutes late
- 1:30with the UEFA president, Ceferin,
- 1:32sitting in the stalls. Yes, the same
- 1:36Ceferin with whom Madrid has made peace
- 1:38after the Super League. Pay attention
- 1:40to that detail because later Ronaldo
- 1:43Nazario comes back up on stage. The man
- 1:45who held the record for the youngest
- 1:47Ballon d'Or winner in history. The
- 1:49record that Lamine could have broken
- 1:51tonight. He opens the envelope. Silence
- 1:54in the theater and he reads the name.
- 1:56Harry Kane. Kane. The Englishman from
- 1:58Bayern. Winner of the 2026 Ballon d'Or,
- 2:01and the full ranking, which is where
- 2:03the real controversy is. First, Kane.
- 2:06Second, Kylian Mbappé. Third, Lamine.
- 2:10Fourth, Rodri. Fifth, Messi. Sixth,
- 2:13Kvaratskhelia. Seventh, Dembélé.
- 2:16Eighth, Haaland. Ninth, Olise. Tenth,
- 2:20Fabián Ruiz. And CubarsĂ, the best
- 2:22center-back of the World Cup, the best
- 2:24center-back of the season, outside the
- 2:26top 10. And take a look at some of the
- 2:29names on that list. Rodri, the same
- 2:31Rodri who won the Ballon d'Or over
- 2:33Vinicius 2 years ago and triggered
- 2:36Madrid's boycott. Tonight, the best
- 2:39player of the World Cup, a world
- 2:40champion, finished behind Mbappé, and
- 2:42Fabián, a European and world champion,
- 2:44finished tenth. But keep one number in
- 2:47mind, two: Mbappé, second, ahead of
- 2:50Lamine. We will get to that in a moment
- 2:53, but first, there is an image that has
- 2:55already gone around the world tonight.
- 2:57Kane, emotional, goes up to collect the
- 2:59trophy. The entire theater stands up.
- 3:03Applause everywhere, and the camera
- 3:05focuses on Mbappé sitting, still,
- 3:08hands motionless, not clapping, not a
- 3:11gesture, not a smile, nor applause for
- 3:14the winner. The images went viral in
- 3:17minutes. Mbappé refuses to applaud
- 3:20Harry Kane. That is how media around
- 3:22the world headlined it. And it wasn't
- 3:24just any moment. While Kane hugged his
- 3:27family, who had come with him en masse,
- 3:29a whole legion of people, Mbappé kept
- 3:31his gaze straight ahead. In the same
- 3:35audience were Cucurella, Diomandé, and
- 3:37Lamine, sitting right next to Kane,
- 3:39applauding with a broken look on his
- 3:41face, but applauding. And Ceferin, a
- 3:45few meters away, witnessing the scene.
- 3:48The UEFA president, with whom Madrid
- 3:49had just mended relations, watching the
- 3:52white star refuse to applaud. That is
- 3:54the difference. The kid who had just
- 3:56lost applauded. The one who thought he
- 3:58was the winner did not. And look at the
- 4:01contrast, because hours earlier on the
- 4:02red carpet, Kane had spoken about his
- 4:04great rival tonight. And it wasn't
- 4:07Mbappé, it was Lamine. Lamine is an
- 4:09incredible player. What he does at that
- 4:12age is truly incredible. When I was his
- 4:14age, I was on loan at different clubs.
- 4:17That is a winner, a guy who praises his
- 4:20rival, and in the other seat, Mbappé
- 4:22not applauding. But why so much anger,
- 4:25what was Mbappé expecting tonight? To
- 4:28understand it, we have to go back to
- 4:29this very afternoon. Do you remember
- 4:31the video from DAZN that we told you
- 4:32about a few hours ago? Mbappé with his
- 4:34friend, the comedian Redouane
- 4:36Bougheraba. You'll have it tomorrow.
- 4:38And Mbappé nodding his head. And
- 4:40Konaté, his teammate at Madrid, you've
- 4:42won it. And Mbappé saying yes to him.
- 4:45And mind you, because France Football
- 4:47has been saying since 2024 that they
- 4:49notify no one before the gala, that no
- 4:51one knows anything, that everything is
- 4:54revealed live; even Laporta said it on
- 4:56the red carpet. We try to know
- 4:58everything, but we don't know anything,
- 5:00they are very hermetic. So, if no one
- 5:04knew anything, why was Mbappé going
- 5:05around saying he took it for granted in
- 5:07front of the cameras, in front of his
- 5:09friends, in front of his locker room?
- 5:12And then at the gala, the envelope says
- 5:14Kane; imagine the look on his face. And
- 5:17there is a question here that no one is
- 5:19asking. What if someone really told him
- 5:21he was winning, if someone on the
- 5:22inside tipped him off? And then the
- 5:24envelope said something else; the
- 5:26scandal is no longer about Mbappé,
- 5:27it’s about the organization. And that
- 5:30would explain the anger in the hallways
- 5:32. Either someone told him something
- 5:34that didn't happen, or he believed it
- 5:36on his own. Both options are a
- 5:38historical embarrassment. And there’s
- 5:40more, because this wasn't just any gala
- 5:42for Madrid. Two years of boycotting. In
- 5:442024, the snub in Paris because
- 5:46Vinicius didn't win. In 2025, absent
- 5:50once again. And this year, according to
- 5:53journalist FĂ©lix DĂaz, Madrid ended
- 5:55the boycott because their relationship
- 5:57with UEFA has improved after the Super
- 5:59League war. Green light for Mbappé to
- 6:01London with Cucurella and Diomandé.
- 6:04Red carpet, autographs, photos. And for
- 6:07what? To sit and watch Barça and Spain
- 6:10collect award after award and see the
- 6:12big one go to an Englishman from Bayern
- 6:15. A fan summed it up perfectly, and
- 6:18half the world shares it tonight.
- 6:20Mbappé only traveled to London to
- 6:22watch Barça win six trophies and lose
- 6:25the Ballon d'Or. And for someone like
- 6:28Mbappé, that is unbearable. And there
- 6:30is an irony that will sting in France.
- 6:33The award is organized by a French
- 6:35magazine. It was presented by Thierry
- 6:36Henry, who is French. And yet, even his
- 6:38own people didn't give it to him. When
- 6:41not even your own country gives you the
- 6:43award, maybe the problem isn't the
- 6:44award. That’s why, when the gala
- 6:46ended, he didn't leave in silence. And
- 6:48here comes the most intense part of the
- 6:50night. According to his inner circle,
- 6:53Mbappé sought out people from France
- 6:54Football in the theater hallways, away
- 6:56from the cameras, and exploded. I
- 6:59didn't come here to leave with nothing.
- 7:01That was his first sentence, and he
- 7:03continued, according to those same
- 7:05sources, "The Kopa for Lamine, the
- 7:07Ballon d'Or and the Gerd MĂĽller for
- 7:09Kane." And what about me? Disfiguring.
- 7:12Disfiguring. That’s how it felt.
- 7:14Sitting in the seat watching others go
- 7:17up on stage, and they say he didn't say
- 7:19it in a low voice. Several people from
- 7:22the organization heard him, and someone
- 7:24from his team had to take him away so
- 7:26things wouldn't escalate. And the
- 7:29phrase that stung the organizers the
- 7:30most: "I could have stayed at home."
- 7:33Like Vinicius did. And afterwards,
- 7:35according to those same sources, he
- 7:37left the theater without stopping for
- 7:39anyone, not even the French press
- 7:41waiting for him, or his national team
- 7:43teammates who were at the gala.
- 7:45Straight to the exit, head down,
- 7:47without looking back, just like
- 7:49Vinicius did. Do you realize what that
- 7:52means? Mbappé admitting that the gala
- 7:54only interests him if he wins. Exactly
- 7:56the same thing Madrid thought in 2024.
- 7:59If I don't win, I'm not going. And if I
- 8:02go and don't win, I complain. And this
- 8:04is nothing new. In 2018, Mbappé won
- 8:07the World Cup at 19, and the Ballon
- 8:09d'Or was given to Modric, who had lost
- 8:12that final against him. In France, they
- 8:15talked about a robbery for months, but
- 8:178 years later, Mbappé has discovered
- 8:20what a world champion feels like when
- 8:22they are passed over. Only this time,
- 8:25the world champion was Lamine, and he
- 8:28was the one being passed over. And
- 8:30watch out, because there is a fact that
- 8:32explains so much anger, one that hurts
- 8:34a lot in France. Kylian Mbappé has
- 8:36been nominated for the Ballon d'Or nine
- 8:38times. 2017, '18, '19, 2021, '22, '23,
- 8:43'24, '25, and '26, and with the
- 8:46teammate he told this afternoon that he
- 8:50had indeed won it. As the story goes,
- 8:54on the bus back to the hotel, no one
- 8:56dared to bring up the subject. Not a
- 8:58word from the Real Madrid expedition.
- 9:00Nine times. And how many has he won?
- 9:03None. His best position in his entire
- 9:05career is this one. Second, tonight,
- 9:08nine attempts. Not even one. And this
- 9:11year, with his return to Madrid, with
- 9:13the cameras catching him, taking it for
- 9:15granted, nothing either. On social
- 9:17media, it's already being called
- 9:19Mbappé's "nothing-plete": no Ballon
- 9:21d'Or, no individual awards, and no team
- 9:23titles. Nothing, a clean sweep of
- 9:25nothing. And look at the detail
- 9:27regarding the Kopa Trophy. Among the
- 9:29nominees was GĂĽler from Madrid, the
- 9:31kid Madrid paid a fortune for. Who took
- 9:34it? Lamine. Another one for Barça in
- 9:37front of the Real Madrid expedition.
- 9:39And the memes didn't take long. Edits
- 9:41are already circulating on social media
- 9:43of Mbappé nodding his head in the
- 9:45video from the ceremony. "Do you have
- 9:48it for tomorrow?" Yes, the return
- 9:50ticket. Meanwhile, Lamine takes the
- 9:53Kopa, Kane takes the Ballon d'Or and
- 9:55the Gerd Müller Trophy, and Mbappé
- 9:57takes the trip to London. By the way, I
- 10:00was commenting on the gala live on
- 10:02Twitter all night. If you want to
- 10:04follow the reactions as they come in,
- 10:06there is a link in the description,
- 10:08because Mbappe's outburst isn't the
- 10:09only thing that happened in the halls
- 10:11of the Palladium. In the Madrid
- 10:13executive box, things are even worse.
- 10:16According to club sources, in
- 10:17Florentino's circle, there was talk
- 10:19tonight of one very clear thing: never
- 10:21coming back. That is the feeling
- 10:24permeating the Madrid expedition after
- 10:26the gala. Remember what happened in
- 10:292024. Vinicius, that same night on
- 10:32social media: I'll do it 10 times if I
- 10:34have to, they aren't ready. And
- 10:36Florentino, days later, speaking of an
- 10:39award that didn't respect Madrid,
- 10:41casting doubt on the voting. Think
- 10:44about what that means for Florentino.
- 10:47Two years saying this award doesn't
- 10:49respect Madrid, that the voting isn't
- 10:51serious, and the year he decides to
- 10:53return, fixes relations with UEFA, and
- 10:55sends his star with the green light, he
- 10:57leaves empty-handed while Barça
- 10:59celebrates award after award two rows
- 11:01away. And there is a phrase from
- 11:04tonight that seems written for Mbappe.
- 11:06Luis de la Fuente said it when
- 11:08accepting the award for best coach.
- 11:09Individual success makes us visible,
- 11:12but the collective makes us invincible.
- 11:15A manager who has won it all with the
- 11:17collective—Nations League, Euro, and
- 11:19World Cup—the best thing that has
- 11:21happened to the national team in its
- 11:23106-year history, compared to a player
- 11:25who only thinks individually and leaves
- 11:27with nothing. And not just because of
- 11:30Mbappe, the club itself also got a dose
- 11:33of reality. Best women's club, Barça.
- 11:36Best young player, Lamine. Best
- 11:38goalkeeper, Unai SimĂłn ahead of
- 11:40Courtois, who was nominated. Madrid
- 11:43shut out of every award of the night.
- 11:45And let's not forget the year their
- 11:47star has had off the pitch. In May,
- 11:49while injured, Mbappe went on a trip
- 11:51with his girlfriend Ester ExpĂłsito
- 11:53through Sardinia, Italy, and Paris.
- 11:56While with Madrid. With the season on
- 11:58the line, the club itself complained
- 12:00that the trips had been practically
- 12:02broadcast live, and there was a
- 12:04petition from Madrid fans calling for
- 12:06his exit. Six months later, the club
- 12:09sends him to London to get the Ballon
- 12:12d'Or and he returns empty-handed. For
- 12:15Madrid, tonight isn't a defeat; it's a
- 12:17humiliation. And someone in that box,
- 12:19they say, put it this way. Two years
- 12:22ago, we left before going in. This time
- 12:24, they made us go in just to laugh at
- 12:26us. The boycott is back; everything
- 12:28points to yes, and next year there will
- 12:31be empty seats at the gala once again.
- 12:34But let me tell you one thing, this
- 12:36isn't France Football's fault, this is
- 12:37the campaign's fault, because Mbappé
- 12:39and his camp pulled off the most
- 12:41shameless campaign in the history of
- 12:42the award. Videos, messages, the return
- 12:45to Madrid, the 100th goal in the
- 12:47Clásico sold as the definitive proof,
- 12:50only to end up swallowing the biggest
- 12:52humiliation of the night live with the
- 12:54whole world watching. If you're
- 12:56enjoying this video, hit the hype
- 12:58button next to the like, it's free and
- 13:01helps this reach many more culés
- 13:03tonight. And get ready, because it's
- 13:05time to speak with data, and data
- 13:07doesn't wear a jersey. And now for what
- 13:10is truly a scandal, because Mbappé not
- 13:13winning is normal. What makes no sense
- 13:15at all is that he finished second.
- 13:17Let's see what Mbappé has done this
- 13:19year, and we'll look at it with the
- 13:21data that Luis GarcĂa provided on Cope
- 13:22, who is one of those who explains it
- 13:24best. La Liga. Mbappé, Pichichi with
- 13:2725 goals. Sounds very good, doesn't it?
- 13:30Well, to give you an idea, Dani GĂĽiza
- 13:33won a Pichichi with Mallorca with 27.
- 13:36Mbappé was Pichichi with fewer goals
- 13:38than GĂĽiza. And now the important part
- 13:40: when did he score those goals?
- 13:42Because as Luis GarcĂa says, a goal in
- 13:44August isn't worth the same as a goal
- 13:46in May. In the second half of the
- 13:48season, when the league was on the line
- 13:50, Mbappé scored six goals, six, and
- 13:52the seventh on the last matchday with
- 13:54the league already won by Barça. Six
- 13:56goals when it mattered, and the league
- 13:59for Barça. Let's move on to the
- 14:01Champions League. Mbappé, 15 goals.
- 14:03Record for the season. Sounds even
- 14:06better. Against whom? Four against
- 14:08Olympiacos, three against Kairat, [
- 14:09against] Almaty, two against Marseille.
- 14:12Two against Benfica and two against
- 14:13Monaco. 13 out of the 15 in the league
- 14:16phase, and against Liverpool zero,
- 14:18against City zero. Against Juve zero,
- 14:21and in the knockout stages against
- 14:23Benfica, nothing. Against City, nothing
- 14:25. And against Bayern, two goals. And
- 14:28eliminated, do you know who eliminated
- 14:30him? Harry Kane, two goals and an
- 14:33assist in that knockout tie. Madrid
- 14:35lost both matches. Kane's goals in the
- 14:38Champions League were in the knockout
- 14:40stages. Atalanta, Real Madrid, PSG, the
- 14:42matches that decide something. And now
- 14:45the World Cup. Mbappé, 10 goals,
- 14:47Golden Boot. Sounds like a Ballon d'Or,
- 14:49right? Well, two of those 10 goals were
- 14:53scored in the third-place match with
- 14:55England winning 4-0, and with Kane,
- 14:56Bellingham, and Dembélé resting on
- 14:58the bench. Take those two away, and
- 15:01eight remain. Kane scored six, and his
- 15:04national team finished ahead of
- 15:06Mbappé’s. And in the semifinal, the
- 15:09match that really mattered, France lost
- 15:11to Spain 2-0 against Lamine. And in the
- 15:14league, if we compare him to Lamine,
- 15:17things become even clearer. Mbappé, 25
- 15:20goals and five assists, 30 goal
- 15:22contributions. Lamine, 16 goals and 11
- 15:26assists. 27, and Mbappé played three
- 15:30more games. A technical draw, as Luis
- 15:32GarcĂa says. With one difference,
- 15:34Lamine won La Liga and the Spanish
- 15:37Super Cup and was named the league's
- 15:39best player. And now the comparison,
- 15:42what hurts the most? Because there is a
- 15:44player in that ranking who had a better
- 15:46season than Mbappé and is in eighth
- 15:48place. Erling Haaland, 74 goals, only
- 15:52six from penalties, 11 assists, two
- 15:55titles; Mbappé 71 goals, 17 from
- 15:58penalties, 16 assists, zero titles, 17
- 16:01penalties. Take them away and Mbappé's
- 16:05season falls apart, while Haaland, with
- 16:07more goals, fewer penalties, and two
- 16:09titles, is eighth. And now the question
- 16:11that has been driving me crazy since
- 16:13the ranking came out. Neither the first
- 16:14nor the second place in this Ballon
- 16:16d'Or won the Champions League or the
- 16:19World Cup, neither of them. And who
- 16:21finished behind Mbappé? Lamine, World
- 16:24Cup champion, league champion, and best
- 16:26player in the league. Rodri, World Cup
- 16:28champion and best player of the World
- 16:30Cup. Kvaratskhelia, European champion
- 16:32and best player of the Champions League
- 16:35. Dembélé, European champion, and
- 16:37Fabián Ruiz, European champion and
- 16:39World Cup champion. Both things. 15
- 16:42players with major titles, five players
- 16:44who were the best in their competition,
- 16:47and all behind a player with zero
- 16:49titles. The best in the Champions
- 16:51League, Kvaratskhelia. The best in the
- 16:54league, Lamine. The best of the World
- 16:56Cup, Rodri. And the runner-up for the
- 16:58Ballon d'Or, someone who wasn't the
- 16:59best at anything. And then they tell
- 17:01you that players like Bellingham or
- 17:03Vinicius are on the list because of the
- 17:05World Cup they had. So, does the World
- 17:08Cup count or not? Imagine you are
- 17:10Kvaratskhelia. You win the Champions
- 17:13League, you are chosen as the best
- 17:15player in the most important
- 17:16competition in the world, and you
- 17:17finish sixth behind someone who fell in
- 17:19the quarterfinals. Imagine you are
- 17:21Fabián, you win the Champions League
- 17:23and the World Cup in the same year.
- 17:25Both things, and you finish tenth. What
- 17:27do you even make of this award?
- 17:29Honestly, I don't know. It has lost all
- 17:32credibility. And here is the great
- 17:34contradiction of the night. France
- 17:36Football got the first one right, but
- 17:38failed miserably with the second. And
- 17:41when an award gets it right at the top
- 17:43and goes wrong like this, just below,
- 17:45the question is inevitable. What
- 17:47carries more weight in those votes?
- 17:49Football or the name? Now, let's be
- 17:52very clear, he does deserve it. Quite
- 17:54the opposite. And don't forget
- 17:56something, Kane spent his entire career
- 17:59without winning a single title. Years
- 18:01at Tottenham, lost finals, the eternal
- 18:04runner-up. And at Bayern, he finally
- 18:07started lifting trophies. And tonight,
- 18:09the greatest of them all. Kane had a
- 18:12year from another planet: 72 goals. He
- 18:15said it himself on the red carpet.
- 18:17Scoring 72 goals is a very good season.
- 18:20Bundesliga, German Cup with three goals
- 18:23in the 0-3 final, German Supercup
- 18:25scoring in the final, and the Gerd
- 18:27MĂĽller Trophy for top scorer. He
- 18:30eliminated Madrid in the Champions
- 18:32League, was one step away from the
- 18:34final against PSG, and in the World Cup
- 18:36, reached the semifinals and third
- 18:37place with England. And Kane left
- 18:39another quote on the red carpet that
- 18:41says a lot about him. Being in that
- 18:43group where Messi is, is a privilege;
- 18:45it is very special for me. Not a word
- 18:48too many, no campaign, no video taking
- 18:51it for granted, and he won it; an
- 18:53English journalist summarized it
- 18:55tonight. He is incredible and seems
- 18:58like a good guy. He missed one of the
- 19:00big titles, but it doesn't bother
- 19:02anyone that he won it, far from it. And
- 19:04another one even clearer: thank
- 19:06goodness Kane won it. Football was
- 19:09about to die. Because if the envelope
- 19:11had said Mbappé tonight, then we would
- 19:13have been talking about the biggest
- 19:14robbery in history. And he won it in a
- 19:17very tough week for him, his coach at
- 19:19Bayern, Vincent Kompany, hospitalized
- 19:21after collapsing due to a virus. From
- 19:23the gala stage, they wished him a
- 19:25speedy recovery. Kane, with his coach
- 19:28in the hospital, lifting the Ballon
- 19:29d'Or. Mbappé with everything in his
- 19:31favor, not applauding. And if we put
- 19:33Kane and Mbappé side by side, there is
- 19:36no room for argument. Goals: Kane 72,
- 19:40Mbappé 71 with 17 penalties. Titles:
- 19:44Kane 3, Mbappé 0. Goals in Champions
- 19:48League knockout stages: Kane 6, Mbappé
- 19:502. Direct knockout between the two:
- 19:53Kane wins. World Cup: England ahead of
- 19:56France. Kane had the best numbers and
- 19:59won titles while making his teammates
- 20:01better. Little left to say.
- 20:03Congratulations, Harry, but there's a
- 20:05kid tonight that I can't get out of my
- 20:07head. Lamine. When Ronaldo Nazario read
- 20:10out Kanan's name, the camera focused on
- 20:12Lamine and he looked broken, truly hurt
- 20:15, with his eyes glistening. The second
- 20:17year in a row that he misses out on the
- 20:19Big Award. Last year, second behind
- 20:22Dembé. This year third, behind a
- 20:25player with no titles. Remember his
- 20:28year. 12 wins in 12 games as a starter
- 20:30in major tournaments. World champion,
- 20:33being Spain's star at 19 years old.
- 20:36League champion, best player in the
- 20:38league, and yet third behind a player
- 20:40who won nothing and was there with all
- 20:43his people. His father was the first to
- 20:45get out of the van upon arriving at the
- 20:47theater. His mother, his little brother
- 20:50, his partner InĂ©s GarcĂa, the whole
- 20:52family in London excited, and the 19-
- 20:54year-old kid taking the blow in front
- 20:56of everyone. And yet, look at what this
- 21:0019-year-old kid did. When he went up to
- 21:03collect the trophy, Henry asked him if
- 21:05that was the award he wanted tonight
- 21:07and Lamine said this. I think this
- 21:09award should have been for Pau CubarsĂ
- 21:11. I think he deserved it more. And he
- 21:13continued. I must keep working to
- 21:15achieve individual titles. And that is
- 21:18not just any phrase. CubarsĂ finished
- 21:20twelfth. The best center-back of the
- 21:22World Cup, the one who broke Maldini's
- 21:24record for clean sheets. Out of the top
- 21:2610. Lamine. Instead of looking out for
- 21:29himself, he looks out for his teammate.
- 21:31He tells the whole world that that kid
- 21:33deserved more. A kid who could have
- 21:36been sulking all night, gifting his
- 21:38award to his teammate in front of
- 21:40everyone. That is class, the kind that
- 21:43someone else lacked tonight. And he
- 21:45wasn't the only one who saw him as the
- 21:46champion. The president of the
- 21:48Federation, Rafael Louzán, had said it
- 21:50hours earlier on the red carpet. Lamine
- 21:53should win this Ballon d'Or. And he
- 21:55added from the gala. He made it clear.
- 21:58We have to face it with sportsmanship.
- 22:00I know that Lamine was especially
- 22:02looking forward to it. Think about what
- 22:05slipped through his fingers tonight. At
- 22:0819 years and 105 days, he would have
- 22:10been the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in
- 22:12history, ahead of Ronaldo Nazario, who
- 22:14won it at 21, and ahead of Messi, who
- 22:16won it at 22. And it was precisely
- 22:19Ronaldo Nazario who opened the envelope
- 22:21, the owner of the record in front of
- 22:23the kid who could have taken it from
- 22:25him. And I'm going to tell you one
- 22:27thing that many Culés are thinking
- 22:28tonight. For me, Lamine was ahead of
- 22:31Kane. He wasn't the top scorer, agreed.
- 22:35But he is the most complete player in
- 22:37the world, the one who creates most,
- 22:38assists most, breaks games open most,
- 22:40and his titles are worth more. A World
- 22:43Cup, man. A World Cup as a starter and
- 22:46as the star. Kane doesn't have that.
- 22:48Nobody who finished ahead of him has
- 22:51that. When a match heats up, you want
- 22:53to see Lamine, you don't want to see
- 22:55Mbappé, that's the magic of soccer.
- 22:57And tonight that wasn't rewarded. But,
- 23:00you know what I'll tell you? This is
- 23:02more fuel for Lamine. A kid like that,
- 23:04with tonight's anger, with what he saw
- 23:06in that theater, he’s going to lift
- 23:09it up and we’ll be there to see it.
- 23:11He has time, plenty of it. And one more
- 23:14thing, Messi, fifth at 39 years old.
- 23:16After a World Cup with 12 goal
- 23:18contributions and a few days after
- 23:20receiving the Princess of Asturias
- 23:22Award remembering his father. And look,
- 23:25this summer they crossed paths in the
- 23:27World Cup final, Spain against
- 23:29Argentina, and the baby from the photo
- 23:31won, 1-0 in extra time. 19 years ago,
- 23:35he took a photo with a baby in his arms
- 23:37for a charity calendar. That baby was
- 23:40Lamine. Tonight, both were in the same
- 23:43top five of the Ballon d'Or. And for
- 23:45Barça, the week has been very tough.
- 23:48Paris, the Clásico, and now this. But
- 23:50as Laporta said, we’re still first,
- 23:53the expectations are intact. We will
- 23:55learn from our mistakes, and let no one
- 23:58forget who did live up to the moment
- 24:00tonight. Unai SimĂłn, best goalkeeper
- 24:03in the world, ahead of Courtois, who
- 24:05was nominated, and Aitana, best female
- 24:07player, saying it was a privilege to
- 24:09share the trophy with a Spaniard. Vicky
- 24:12LĂłpez moved, dedicating the award to
- 24:14her mother who is no longer with us.
- 24:17Spain won it all tonight with humility,
- 24:19and the only one leaving London fuming
- 24:21is the one who came for everything. And
- 24:23for Madrid, the lesson tonight is clear
- 24:26. You can fix relations with UEFA, you
- 24:28can return to the gala, you can send
- 24:30your star on a red carpet. But the
- 24:33Ballon d'Or, at least this time, wasn't
- 24:35won in an office. It was taken by the
- 24:37one who scored the most goals and won
- 24:38the most titles. And for Madrid, that
- 24:40has been worse than any boycott.
- 24:43Mbappé will have more opportunities,
- 24:45but tonight he left London with the
- 24:47worst image of his career, that of the
- 24:49player who doesn't applaud. So let's
- 24:52close the circle. What did Mbappé do?
- 24:55First, he didn't applaud Kane in front
- 24:57of the cameras; later, according to his
- 24:59camp, he lashed out at France Football.
- 25:02I didn't come here to leave with
- 25:03nothing. I could have stayed home like
- 25:05Vinicius. And Madrid, in Florentino's
- 25:08circle, is talking about never coming
- 25:10back. The boycott again, and the
- 25:13scandal of a player with no titles, who
- 25:15wasn't the best in any competition,
- 25:17finishing second ahead of Lamine, Rodri
- 25:19, Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé, and Fabián
- 25:21. And Lamine, third with the World Cup
- 25:25and the league in his bag, saying in
- 25:27front of everyone that his trophy was
- 25:28for a teammate. That also happened
- 25:31tonight, and you won't see that in any
- 25:33Madrid recap. Kane, deserved. Mbappé
- 25:37second, a disgrace. And the camera,
- 25:39which caught him taking it for granted
- 25:41this afternoon, is the best summary of
- 25:42his night today. He boasted about an
- 25:44award that wasn't his. Mbappé, trash
- 25:47award. It’s that clear, and watch out
- 25:50for tomorrow, because this doesn't end
- 25:52here. The reactions from the Barça,
- 25:54Madrid, and France locker rooms will
- 25:56keep coming out, and we will tell you
- 25:58all of them here. Now I want to read
- 26:00your opinion. Kane deserved the Ballon
- 26:03d'Or; it should have been Lamine.
- 26:05Mbappé second ahead of world and
- 26:07European champions is a robbery. And do
- 26:10you think Madrid will return to the
- 26:11gala next year? To everyone watching us
- 26:14from Argentina. Leo, still at 39 years
- 26:17old. Tell me what you think. If this
- 26:20video was worth it, hit like and press
- 26:22the bell icon so it reaches all the
- 26:24Culés who are just as fired up as we
- 26:26are tonight. And if you aren't
- 26:29subscribed, subscribe. Tomorrow we'll
- 26:31continue with everything that comes out
- 26:33of this gala, as there will be much
- 26:35more. Thank you for staying until the
- 26:37end on a night like this. Kane champion
- 26:39, Lamine hungrier than ever, and
- 26:42Mbappé as an extra. We'll be back
- 26:44tomorrow. Yeah.
