According to Cadena SER, journalist Tomás Roncero believes that Barcelona's backing of Lamine Yamal could split the votes that would otherwise go to Barcelona players, potentially benefiting Kylian Mbappé in the Ballon d'Or competition.

Roncero stated: "I think Barcelona's strategy regarding the Ballon d'Or will actually help Mbappé win it. What Barcelona is doing is splitting the votes that would clearly go to Rodri. By openly supporting Lamine Yamal, the Barcelona votes will be divided between Rodri and Lamine Yamal."

Roncero has repeatedly stated that in his view, the Ballon d'Or should go to Rodri, as he was the best player in world football and was named the best player of the tournament. However, Barcelona's strategy could cost Rodri this opportunity. Roncero explained: "Rodri won the Ballon d'Or because Vinicius didn't receive most of the votes from Real Madrid. Many people voted for Bellingham and Carvajal, who finished third and fourth respectively. This split in voting is what allowed Rodri to win the Ballon d'Or. It's similar to 2010 when Xavi and Iniesta split the votes, and as a result, Messi won the award."

The journalist also noted that if Mbappé wins the Ballon d'Or this year, Real Madrid fans might not be entirely satisfied given that Mbappé hasn't played a crucial role in Real Madrid's important matches. Roncero said: "Of course, if Real Madrid beats both Betis at home and in the derby, and Mbappé scores two goals in each match, then Real Madrid fans would certainly be more enthusiastic about voting for him. I admit that if Mbappé wins, it would be some consolation for Real Madrid fans because at least the award won't go to Barcelona again. I hope he wins because it would be one of the few bright spots for us Real Madrid fans at the start of the season."
