  "account": "The Balón de Oro, the highest individual award for soccer, will be presented on Monday in London amidst uncertainty over who will win the prestigious trophy. The three main candidates are Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, and Kylian Mbappé, who all have strong chances of winning the award. However, the French forward Ousmane Dembélé, who won the Champions League with PSG last season, is also listed as a nominee.\n\nIn addition to star players, there are also center midfielders like Fabián Ruiz, who had a standout season for both his national team and PSG. This could result in some surprise nominations. Cucurella made history as the first Spanish player to appear on the list at the 18th position, followed by Vinicius in the 17th position. The next Spanish players on the list are Ferran in 16th place and Cubarsí at 12th place.",
