"What our team conveys is much more important than a Ballon d'Or. I don't care about the Ballon d'Or. Individual awards don't matter to me. Sorry, but I said that my favorite at the moment is undoubtedly Ousmane Dembélé. I understand all the fuss surrounding the Ballon d'Or. I understand, it's normal, it's what sells. Everyone chooses their player. There are plenty of players, besides Ousmane, who could win it. Personally, my favorite is Ousmane. And Vitinha could win it too. Achraf Hakimi too, Fabian Ruiz and other players in the team like Marquinhos , Pacho, Nuno Mendes, " said Luis Enrique according to RMC Sport.
