AI predicts Barcelona youngsters to win Ballon d’Or three times in coming years

According to the Twitter account of Football Archive, artificial intelligence (AI) has predicted the future winners of the prestigious Ballon d’Or award up to the year 2038. 

Notably, young talents from Barcelona are expected to secure the award three times in the coming years.

Mbappe, who is set to leave PSG, is predicted to win his second Ballon d’Or in 2034, nine years after his first in 2025.
