Raúl Asencio has already made his choice for the Ballon d’Or. In an interview with the Spanish daily A.S.the Real Madrid defender showed his support for Kylian Mbappé, whom he considers to be the most deserving candidate to win the prestigious individual award. “ That would be fair. I see him every day and, for me, he is the best player among all those named. Football-wise, Kylian is the best », assured the 23-year-old Spaniard. A particularly strong opinion from the Madrilenian, who rubs shoulders with the French international every day in training and during meetings at Casa Blanca.
For Asencio, Mbappé’s offensive qualities constitute an additional argument in favor of his candidacy. “ He is the top scorer in all areas. It is an individual reward », he insisted, thus believing that personal performances must take precedence in the awarding of the trophy. The Spanish defender therefore did not dwell on the collective results of Real Madrid, preferring to highlight the level of play and the efficiency of his teammate.
