Lionel Messi could reportedly present the 2026 Ballon d’Or trophy in London at the October 26 ceremony, despite being among the 30 nominees.

The rumour has generated memes and prompted speculation about Lamine Yamal winning because of their famous connection.

Messi’s family could attend, but neither his proposed presenting role nor his attendance has been confirmed, leaving fans guessing.
