The Sporting squad was challenged during the team's media day for the Champions League to predict who will be the future Ballon d'Or winner. The initiative consisted of an internal vote among the players and coaching staff of the Lions club.
According to the publication, two players dominate the choices: an English player and a Spanish player appear in the so-called "pole position" among Sporting's choices. The names of these players are not specified in the article.
The vote took place at a time of the team's preparation for the European competition, taking advantage of the presence of the available players and coaches during the media day organized by the club.
The challenge allowed the players and coaching staff members to demonstrate their personal preferences regarding the potential winners of the prestigious individual award in world football, in a lighter activity integrated into the media day's activities.
