Mbappé, the heavy accusations of Deschamps

Didier Deschamps gave a big rant against certain voters for the 2023 Ballon d’Or, awarded to Lionel Messi.

It’s a result that continues to make people talk. For the eighth time in his career, Lionel Messi was awarded the Ballon d’Or on October 30 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. The Argentine world champion beat Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, who “ would have deserved to win it”according to Didier Deschamps.

“For him to be third is a disappointment. Afterwards, there are votes from journalists from all over the world. I’m not saying that Messi didn’t deserve it and that Haaland wouldn’t have deserved it. He is young, but with what he has achieved, he would have deserved it. I don’t have to console him. He is disappointed “, said the Blues coach during an interview with beIN Sports.

“Not putting Mbappé in the top five is really…”

Didier Deschamps then qualified the voters who did not put Kylian Mbappé in their Top 5 of “dishonest”. “Afterwards, the votes… These are votes that come from almost everywhere. I was surprised to say the least, or even a little more surprised by the vote of some, he said. Not putting Mbappé in the top five is really… I’m not going to use the term “dishonesty”, but we’re not far from it all the same. » The message is clear.
