According to Mundo Deportivo, Espanyol's sporting director Monchi stated at a Copa del Rey press conference in Seville that from Espanyol's perspective, Yamal deserves the 2024 Ballon d'Or more than other candidates.

As the 2024 Ballon d'Or race heats up, it has become a hot topic in football. Recently, Espanyol's sporting director Monchi also shared his views, leaning toward Yamal for the award. Monchi said: "This is complicated. I think there are four players who are candidates for this award. If you look at it from Espanyol's perspective, I think Yamal deserves it more. But I imagine the French will think Mbappé deserves it, and the English will think Kane deserves it. This is not an easy Ballon d'Or to judge, and it will be controversial."

Monchi made these remarks at a Copa del Rey press conference in Seville. The event was held to honor José Antonio Reyes, with Monchi serving as a patron of the event. Monchi stated: "Talent comes from hard work, but talent like José Antonio's, which needs little polishing, is very rare. It's difficult to find players like that because it's innate." Reyes played for clubs including Sevilla, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and Espanyol.

Monchi also spoke about his new chapter at Espanyol. He said: "I travel between San Fernando and Barcelona, and clearly I spend more time in Barcelona. I'm doing well and I'm happy. They welcomed me extraordinarily. We hope to pick up a few more points; we're still a bit short. But overall, I'm satisfied and happy. Espanyol's project is one with new investors; the new ownership hasn't been in place long, and we're working not only with short-term plans but also with medium and long-term plans."
