Here is the full ranking pic.twitter.com/CfJvw5K4Hd — Ballon d'Or (@ballondor) September 22, 2025 The top ten also featured Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona) in second place, along with Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool FC), Raphinha (FC Barcelona), and Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid CF), who ranked just below Hakimi. Hakimi's season more than justified a top-six finish: he lifted the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Trophée des Champions with PSG; won Olympic bronze with Morocco; made the Team of the Season in both the Champions League and Ligue 1; and scored in the Champions League quarter-final, semi-final, and final, as well as the Coupe de France final.
