Rather than talking about PSG, Kylian Mbappé lingered in his last media release on the race for the Ballon d’Or.

Kylian Mbappé broke the silence on Tuesday evening. But, not to talk about his news at the club. The French international spoke on the Ivorian channel NCI to discuss in particular the battle for the Ballon d’Or he is fighting with Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland.

Mbappé “busy” doing great things

Called to name his main competitors for this individual trophy, the person concerned abstained. “My rivals? When you play at the top level, there are only impressive players. To quote anyone in particular would be to neglect the others. You (the interviewee, editor’s note) can name them on your own”.

The Parisian star also acknowledged that winning this prize was a goal. ” The Golden Ball ? When you play, in the moment, you don’t think about the repercussions but about winning your match. Even more in the World Cup final. Now, yes, I’m thinking about the Ballon d’Or. Even if I don’t think about it, people think for me. Because I am always one of the names that come back. It is the people who vote and I have done my part of the job”.

When asked if he thinks he has made an impression enough, his response was as follows: “Competitor that I am, I never tell myself that I made an impression, I tell myself that more needs to be done. It’s behind me and I’m always looking to the future. Busy doing great things and burning the retina as they say. I will look back after the end of my career”.
