Overview

• The Súper Balón de Oro has been awarded only once, in 1989, to Alfredo Di Stéfano.
• La Gaceta reports that the official prize account shared a history video featuring Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, renewing discussion about a successor.
• Bolavip cites leaked information suggesting a possible 2029 edition, though no formal announcement has been made.
• Messi owns eight Ballons d'Or and Ronaldo five, positioning them as the perceived frontrunners should the one-off award return.
• Di Stéfano donated the unique trophy to Real Madrid's museum, and his family auctioned it in 2021 for more than €200,000 with the buyer not disclosed.
