Kylian Mbappé is one of the best players on the planet. His hat-trick in the World Cup final against Argentina to snatch the penalty shootout is proof of that. The Paris Saint-Germain striker has also broken a new record after his new achievement with the France team against Greece on Monday evening. The native of Bondy became the top French scorer in one season, club and selection combined, ahead of Just Fontaine, author of 53 goals in 1957-1958. It is clear that the 24-year-old continues to panic the statistics. With 40 achievements, Kylian Mbappé is only one length behind Michel Platini (41) with the Blues. An incredible performance when you know that he still has many opportunities to improve his counter. And the main interested party confided his ambitions to the microphone of TF1 after the meeting against Greece.
The Ballon d’Or is indeed still relevant according to him. “The Golden Ball ? It’s always difficult to talk about an individual trophy, with people it doesn’t necessarily go well but with the new criteria, to be impactful, to burn the retina. I think I meet these criteria, we’ll see, but I remain optimistic.” notably declared the PSG striker. Even if his future looks uncertain since his announcement not to activate the option of an additional year in his contract, Kylian Mbappé continues to make himself essential for the France team and this could allow him to win the highest individual distinction. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to face Erling Haaland, winner of the Champions League, and Lionel Messi, halo of the World Cup with Argentina. Answer at the end of the year!
