Mbappe and the Ballon d’Or ambition… Did the Paris Saint-Germain star miss the opportunity?
The young star, Kylian Mbappé, the striker of the French club Paris Saint-Germain, faced a very difficult time at the beginning of the current season, after he only scored 7 goals with his team during the matches he played in the local competition and one goal in the Champions League.
In addition to the decline in his level this season, Kylian Mbappe did not join the squad of coach Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, until last August, which made his technical level decline very significantly.
The question now being asked by sports fans is about the decline in Kylian Mbappé’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or, which will be presented by the French magazine “France Football” on the 30th of this month.
Looking at the rules of the “France Football” magazine, which organizes the voting process for the Ballon d’Or, it appears that they have amended a basic rule, which is “performances for the current season are not counted,” which means that the bad match that Mbappe presented against Newcastle United in the European Champions League. , will not be calculated.
The Ballon d’Or award is given to the best player during one season, in addition to the fact that voting to choose the best player has already closed, which means that Kylian Mbappe is actually still competing with Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland for the award.
The reason why Kylian Mbappe continues to compete for the Ballon d’Or is due to what he did last season, when he led the French national team to the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and scored a hat-trick in the final match, in addition to his contribution to Paris Saint-Germain retaining the local league title.
But Kylian Mbappe is aware of the fierce competition for the Ballon d’Or, because Argentine Lionel Messi led his country to achieve the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, while Erling Haaland won everything with Manchester City (Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup).
