  "summary": "Arsenal's Declan Rice has expressed his belief that Lamine Yamal will win multiple Ballon d'Or awards in the future, following Harry Kane's recent triumph. Kane secured the prestigious accolade earlier this year, outperforming Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe and Barcelona's Lamine Yamal. Rice, speaking ahead of England's UEFA Nations League match against Spain, praised Yamal's skills, stating, \"Lamine Yamal will win so many Ballon d’Ors; he’s incredible.\" However, he ultimately chose Kane as the winner for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, citing Kane's impressive performance in the Bundesliga and his goal-scoring record.",
