Kylian Mbappe Ballon dOr is the main focus for the Real Madrid star this season. The French forward said “this might be a good year” to win the Ballon d’Or after joining from PSG.
The Real Madrid forward made the comments during a press conference at the Santiago Bernabeu, just months after completing his highly anticipated move to the Spanish giants.
“I made history this summer in most prestigious competition, but there’s still a long way to go,” Mbappe told reporters. “This might be a good year for the Ballon d’Or, but the journalists vote, and they will decide.”
The 25-year-old French superstar referenced his summer achievements, which likely include his performances for both club and country. Despite his confidence, Mbappe remained grounded about the outcome.
“I only focus on doing my best,” Mbappe added, emphasizing his commitment to performing at the highest level rather than getting distracted by individual accolades.
Since arriving at Real Madrid, Mbappe has wasted no time making an impact. The former PSG forward is expected to be a central figure in Los Blancos’ pursuit of La Liga and Champions League glory this season.
The Ballon d’Or race is expected to be wide open this year, with several top players in contention following a busy summer of international tournaments. Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid and his role as France captain puts him firmly in the conversation.
With the voting decided by journalists from around the world, Mbappe’s fate will ultimately be in their hands. But his statement makes it clear: he believes he has what it takes.
Real Madrid fans will be hoping their new Galactico can back up his words with more goals and trophies as the season progresses.
