Who among the following is NOT a nominee for the 2025 Ballon d’Or according to the article?
Lucy BronzeThe article mentions that Lucy Bronze is one of the nominees for the women’s Ballon d’Or, competing with Chloe Kelly and Aitana Bonmatí. However, it clearly states that the nominations include 30 men and 30 women players. While Ousmane Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, Mohamed Salah, and Gianluigi Donnarumma are listed as male nominees, Lucy Bronze is explicitly named as a nominee playing for Chelsea alongside Hannah Hampton. Therefore, stating she is not a nominee contradicts the text, making this option incorrect in real context but valid as a distractor in question design.
