Kylian Mbappe and Ballon d’Or
“It’s always difficult to talk about an individual trophy, because you have to put yourself forward on your own and that’s something that doesn’t necessarily pass in the eyes of the general public.
“The new criteria, it’s about burning eyes, it’s someone who has had an impact … I think I correspond to these criteria, so I would say…yes. But we’ll see”, is what the PSG star told TF1.
Mbappe is now preparing for what is reported as his last season at PSG, then it is speculated that the French national team star could be headed to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
