Michael Olise is now top of the Score90 current Ballon d'Or power rankings after a surge in form this season, with recent weeks pushing the Bayern Munich forward above Barcelona's Lamine Yamal.
Harry Kane is second after climbing from fifth to second place in the latest list, ahead of Yamal and Kylian Mbappé. Joshua Kimmich is ninth overall and Luis Díaz sits in eleventh spot on the 20-man list, a snapshot that tracks how Bayern's Champions League progress is reshaping the race.
The German club moved on while Barcelona and Real Madrid were eliminated in the quarterfinals, giving Bayern players the kind of stage that usually decides awards as much as raw output does. If a Bayern player finishes with the prize, it would be the club's first World Player of the Year since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981.
That makes Olise's rise more than a weekly ranking quirk. It puts him at the center of a broader shift in the Ballon d'Or conversation, and it does so at a moment when Bayern still have the most persuasive platform left in the competition.
