This Friday, Kylian Mbappé (27 years old) has not (yet) spoken. He could do it this evening after the France team’s meeting in Türkiye. In the meantime, he has stopped his media tour which began a few days ago. Indeed, the Frenchman is multiplying interviews in France and abroad, in order to reach as many people as possible during his campaign to obtain the 2026 Ballon d’Or. The Team, A.S., RFI, CNN and many others, the former Bondy player occupied the media field. Which also earned him some mockery on social networks, where some trolled him on this subject.
Mbappé occupies the media field
But the captain of the Blues continues his offensive communication strategy. He doesn’t hesitate to send a few messages, even if it means making a few enemies in the process. Despite his lack of a major collective title, the Real Madrid player believes he has every chance of winning the Ballon d’Or in London in about a month. Top scorer in La Liga, the Champions League and the World Cup, he actually piled up the goals. But he has not always evolved at his best level. Some also criticize him for not being decisive enough in key matches.
But he still has support. Thierry Henry, Roberto Carlos and others believe he is a credible contender. For its part, Real Madrid has not publicly spoken out for its player. It should be remembered that since 2024 and the failure of Vinicius Jr against Rodri, Casa Blanca has boycotted the ceremony. In recent months, France Football made a rapprochement with Florentino Pérez and his teams. It seems to be working since Real Madrid has shared photos and messages on its social networks concerning the Madrilenians nominated in the various categories. A first step forward.
Real Madrid finds this campaign ridiculous
In the process, certain Iberian media clarified that the Merengue club plans to participate in the gala. Regardless, Real Madrid remains rather behind for the moment regarding the BO. Unlike Bayern Munich, Barça or PSG who speak publicly about Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembélé and Kvara, the Madrilenians remain silent. According to Sportthe club’s management is very skeptical about Kylian Mbappé’s chances of winning the grail. After considering traveling to London for a while, Real Madrid abandoned the idea.
It must be said that within Casa Blanca, we rail against the attitude of KM10, particularly regarding its campaign for the Ballon d’Or which is considered ridiculous. In the club’s offices, a member of Real Madrid told Sport about him: “how he begs for votes for the Ballon d’Or”. Words spoken and relayed word for word by the pro-Barça daily it must be remembered. His behavior is disturbing in the upper echelons, where we also did not appreciate the controversy linked to the t-shirt in support of Ceuta. Launched into his campaign, Mbappé can obviously only count on himself.
