Despite a more than disappointing year 2024 and largely disrupted by his problems with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé did not finish in the Top 5 of the last Ballon d’Or. Sixth in a ranking won by Rodri, the Bondynois is still running behind the famous individual trophy so desired by many footballers. And according to some, it is not necessarily set to do better in 2025.
Present Saturday on the air of RTLDominique Sévérac has given his judgment on the Real Madrid striker and his current chances of being elected Ballon d’Or. “If the vote stopped now, it would not be the winner, because it is a player called Mohamed Salah who would be Ballon d’Or (…). » And the journalist lists the upcoming deadlines for this second part of the season.
“In my opinion, he will not be Ballon d’Or”
“But on the other hand, given that the season has not been played, we do not know who will be champion of Spain, who will win the Champions League (…), that there is no Cup of world or Euro (…). In theory, he had his worst year there and he finished sixth in the last Ballon d’Or, with this failed Euro (2024), this failed end with PSG, the final of the Coupe de France against Lyon, he was zero, against Dortmund in the semi-final (of C1) he was zero, the whole Euro he was zero and he still finished sixth. »
For the journalist of Parisianthere is still a small chance for Kylian Mbappé. But he hardly believes it.
“When he is very bad, he finishes sixth. So if he is a little good, given that he is at Real Madrid, a very exposed club, yes he can be Ballon d’Or. But in my opinion it won’t be. » This is what is said.
