For Peter Luccin, former PSG and OM player, Kylian Mbappé today stands out as an exceptional player, capable of making the difference in any situation. According to the former French midfielder, his efficiency in the area and his ability to realize almost all his opportunities bring him closer to Cristiano Ronaldo than to Ronaldo Nazario, the more versatile Brazilian: “Roni was a magician who had everything… Kylian became a beast in the box, but outside it, it's hard to find someone who can match the best: Ronaldo Nazario “. At the start of the season, the 2018 World Champion has already scored 14 goals in 10 matches in all competitions.
But the former PSG striker is not only a goalscorer, Luccin also appreciates his selflessness, an essential asset in building a team and winning titles. “That’s a great quality in a predator like him. We already saw it against Villarreal letting Vinicius take the penalty… he does not hesitate to deliver an assist if a teammate is in a better position”. The 46-year-old former player concludes on his potential for the Ballon d'Or: “He's an obvious contender for the Ballon d'Or…if he continues to improve, he could soon compete with the best strikers in the world.”
