In 2018, Kylian Mbappé finished 4th in the Ballon d’Or rankings, but he achieved his best ranking in the latest edition in 2023, coming in 3rd. Currently, at 25 years old, Mbappé, who is leading Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) into the semi-finals of the Champions League, seems well-positioned in the ongoing battle for the next Ballon d’Or. Apparently, the judges already have a soft spot for the number 7. Here’s why.
As Mbappé stands on the brink of leaving PSG, he could be on the verge of making history. He’s the captain of the French national team and the leading goal scorer in PSG’s history.
The 25-year-old forward is still in contention to potentially achieve an unprecedented treble of League title, European Cup, and National Cup with PSG. Furthermore, Mbappé could lead France to glory at the upcoming Euro in June. Is this going to be a historic season for Mbappé before his departure?
If his departure from PSG at the end of the season is confirmed, everything suggests that Mbappé is gearing up for a historic end to the 2023-2024 season. Could this pave the way for a Ballon d’Or victory? One thing is certain, Mbappé is definitely among the top contenders.
The Ballon d’Or judges hold Mbappé in high regard. According to the latest reports from Le Parisien, the Bondy native has already won over the Ballon d’Or judges. They believe that Kylian Mbappé, after finishing 4th in 2018 and 3rd in 2023, deserves to win. For the judges of this prestigious award, there’s no doubt that the PSG star will eventually claim the trophy.
