PSG midfielder Fabian Ruiz shared his thoughts on his chances in the Ballon d'Or race.

Last season, the 30-year-old Spaniard fought for the French champions title and the UEFA Champions League trophy with Paris.

This summer, Ruiz played an important role in the Spanish national team as they triumphed at the World Cup.

"I think every footballer dreams of being individually recognized for their hard work on the pitch.

I have been lucky to win many team trophies, but I have fewer personal awards.

But why not dream this year and try to get as close to this trophy as possible?

It is truly a special award. It would be a great honor for me to win the Ballon d'Or," said Ruiz.
