Kylian Mbappé, the French forward for Real Madrid, gave an interview to France Football in which he talked about the Ballon d'Or. In the interview, the player was direct in stating that he would vote for himself to win the award, justifying that no one had a better performance than him during the season.
The 25-year-old player acknowledges that the season did not end in the best way, referring to the Euro 2024 final that France lost to Spain. However, Mbappé maintains the conviction that his individual performance throughout the season was superior to that of any other candidate.
The interview comes at a time when Mbappé is trying to establish himself as one of the big favorites for the Ballon d'Or, competing for the recognition that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have already achieved in previous editions. The player is looking to consolidate his status in world football after the transfer from PSG to Real Madrid.
The French forward showed no filters in the conversation, publicly stating his ambition to win the most coveted individual football trophy. The player's position contrasts with the humility that many other candidates show when asked about their chances of winning.
