Mbappé recalled that he remained one of the best players in the world on Sunday, inflicting a goal and a decisive pass on Germany. The captain of the French team assured his team the third place in the League of Nations and continued on its momentum before the Club World Cup this summer. Despite a first mixed season in Madrid, he won the European gold shoe and could strengthen his candidacy for the Ballon d'Or if successful during the end of the season scheduled tournament this month.
Mbappé or Dembélé for the Ballon d'Or?
Speaking after the match against Germany, Mbappé said in the team: “It is not I who awards him (the Ballon d'Or). I have opinions, and I also had different opinions on the last winners. The only trophy that depends only on my feet is the golden shoe. For the others, I do not vote. »»
Mbappé does not let go
After the success of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last weekend, Ousmane Dembélé is the current favorite. The French teammate of Mbappé will face a tough competition from Lamine Yamal. Among the other contenders are Raphinha, Mohamed Salah and Desire Doué.
Mbappé will fly to the United States this week to join his Real Madrid teammates before the Club World Cup. The Merengues will start their tournament with a match against Al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. They will also face Pachuca and RB Salzburg in the group phase.
