Thibaut Courtois already has his favorite for the next Ballon d’Or. Asked about Radioestadio Nochethe Real Madrid goalkeeper believes that the race remains particularly open between several candidates, citing in particular Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal and Harry Kane. “ Mbappé and Lamine are good. Kane will be there too. This year, the competition is very open », explained the Belgian international, before clearly showing his preference: “ For me, it’s Mbappé. »
Above all, Courtois considers that the Ballon d’Or should not be awarded solely based on collective results. “ The Ballon d’Or should also reward the best player of the year. It’s not just about the trophies “, he insisted. To illustrate his reasoning, the Madrid goalkeeper took the example of his teammate Dani Carvajal: “ If we follow this logic, perhaps he should have returned to Carvajal three years ago. »
