‘Why not dream about it’ – PSG midfielder Fabián Ruiz on chances of winning the Ballon d’Or

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabián Ruiz has expressed his dream of winning the renowned Ballon d’Or award. The Spanish player, who is already a vital component of Luis Enrique’s system, has amassed numerous titles at both team and individual levels. In a recent interview with Téléfoot, Ruiz stated that winning individual accolades is every footballer’s dream and added that he has been fortunate to achieve this in past seasons as well.

Ruiz acknowledges that being in the spotlight isn’t something he enjoys, but with the season they’ve had, the hard work they’ve put in, and the titles they’ve secured, he believes it’s acceptable to allow himself to be in the center of attention this year. Ruiz claims that at the team level, he has won everything, but individually, his only missing title is the prestigious Ballon d’Or, which would be recognition from everyone across the world.

Last season, he played 34 matches across all competitions for Paris, starting in 24 of them. Despite a season filled with injuries, Ruiz played a crucial role in Paris’s European triumph. However, this competition for the Ballon d’Or could be quite fierce. Ruiz believes in his chances, particularly when compared to his teammate Ousmane Dembélé. Nonetheless, the competition will undoubtedly be intense.
