Actu Foot indicated that Declan Rice finished 15th in the 2026 Ballon d'Or. The account estimated that the English midfielder had established himself among the best in the world the previous season and had been a key player in Arsenal's historic season, marked by a Premier League title, the first since 2003/2004, and a victory in the Community Shield. It also recalled that the Gunners had been one penalty shootout away from the European title and that Rice had finished third in the World Cup, before asking if he would have deserved a better ranking. #BallonDor #DeclanRice #Arsenal (translated)
