Kylian Mbappé is likely to end Monday evening upset. Explanations.

On October 30, on the stage of the Théâtre du Châtelet, Kylian Mbappé, certainly grumpy, had to accept the hierarchy of a 2023 Ballon d’Or awarded to Lionel Messi… in front of Erling Haaland. Named third player on the planet on this occasion, the captain of the Blues could do better this Monday as part of The Best Trophies. Without reaching the summit.

Unlike the Ballon d’Or, The Best title of best player 2023 will not take into account the World Cup played in November and December 2022 – which allowed Lionel Messi to win his eighth golden sphere in the fall. Over the past calendar year, the Argentine maestro therefore risks being excluded from the race to win, unlike his Norwegian counterpart Erling Haaland, who did not compete in the World Cup in Qatar.

A steamroller in 2023

According to rumors coming from London where the trophy will be awarded this Monday evening, the Manchester City scorer is strongly anticipated to succeed La Pulga in The Best list. At the expense of Kylian Mbappé. In 2023 with the Skyblues, the Cyborg has won everything it is true. From the Premier League to the FA Cup, including the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. So many good reasons to make Pep Guardiola – opposed to Simone Inzaghi (Inter) and Luciano Spalletti (Naples) – the coach of the year as well.
