The nominees for The Best: A consolation for Mbappé

The year 2024 will have been very complicated for Kylian Mbappé but it may well end with a nice trophy for the Frenchman. The former PSG player is one of 11 players nominated for “The Best” prize.

This award is awarded by FIFA every year. An equivalent to the Ballon d’Or and which has existed since 2016. Mbappé has not yet won it, but he has finished on the podium in the last two years.

Messi aims for his fourth “The Best” award

In great difficulty at Real Madrid, the Bondynois will certainly welcome this news with joy. Even if it is a safe bet that it will not yet be crowned. His Real Madrid teammate, Vinicius Jr, is the big favorite to win the award. Unless he is beaten once again by Rodri from Manchester City.

Lionel Messi has won The Best award three times.

Winner of this distinction for the last two years, Lionel Messi is once again among the candidates. His exile in MLS apparently did him no more harm than that. La Pulga hopes to have a fourth consecration.

The Best ceremony will be held early next year. Others named are Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Erling Haaland, Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde, Florian Wirtz and Lamine Yamal.
