Lautaro Martinez, a striker for Inter Milan and Argentina, came next with 8.2%. of the vote following a standout domestic and international campaign. Thanks to his amazing achievements for England at the European Championship and his impressive 36 goals scored, English star Jude Bellingham, who currently plays for Real Madrid, ranked third with 8.2% of the vote.
Lamin Yamal, a rising artist from Barcelona who received 4.6% of the vote and has garnered attention from fans, rounds out the top five.
