Mbappe Continues Media Push For Ballon d'Or Recognition
Mbappé said his scoring record makes him a strong contender after leading the World Cup, Champions League and La Liga in goals.
- On Tuesday, France and Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe expressed confidence in his Ballon d'Or prospects, continuing his public push for the annual individual award.
- The 27-year-old led scoring in the Champions League, Liga, and the World Cup last season, reaching 22 total career World Cup goals.
- Strong competition persists from players who secured major trophies in 2026, including Spanish duo Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, PSG's Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Bundesliga champion Harry Kane.
- Despite individual dominance, the forward finished the season without major team trophies after France's World Cup semi-final exit and Real Madrid's second-place Liga finish.
- Voters for the award prioritize individual performance over team results, Mbappe told RFI. "The ability to perform individually and produce eye-catching moments," he said, stands out to people.
