Peter Luccin has the art of standing out when it is expected. The former OM and PSG midfielder, now a warned observer for European football, has engaged in a daring prospective to say the least concerning Kylian Mbappé. Its media outing is already shaking social networks and questions the future of the French star in Real Madrid.
“Mbappé will win six, seven or eight golden balls”
The declaration of Luccin to Marca has the effect of a bomb:
“He will win six, seven or eight golden balls. »»
Just that. The former player is not in half measures when he talks about the future of Mbappé in the Merengue jersey. For him, the French striker is intended to dominate world football in the coming years, and his good start to the season at Real represents the long -awaited click.
This prediction seems crazy when you know that Mbappé has never raised the prestigious trophy. At 26, the Frenchman remains in a 6th place in the 2024 ranking, far behind the winner Rodri. But Luccin relies on the Casa Blanca effect to definitively transform the player. “Priority is the group, but in Madrid, what makes the difference are these individual players”he explains.
Luccin predicts an XXL future in Mbappé
The Madrid bet that can change everything
Luccin's analysis is based on an implacable logic: Real Madrid remains the machine to make legends. Karim Benzema in 2022, Luka Modric in 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo between 2013 and 2017… The Madrid club has this particular alchemy which transforms very great players into planetary icons. For the former Atlético, Mbappé has all the assets to follow this royal way.
It remains to be materialized in the field. Because despite his 387 career goals, Mbappé still suffers from the absence of a Champions League at his record. This gaping hole in its CV explains in part why the Ballon d'Or has escaped him for years. But at Real, this gap could quickly become a memory.
Luccin's prediction rings like a challenge launched to Mbappé himself. Six to eight golden balls would represent a historic record, even exceeding Lionel Messi. Utopia or vision of a near future? Who will live will see.
