France Captain Kylian Mbappé Stays Humble About Ballon d’Or Prospects
France captain Kylian Mbappé showed his humility when questioned about his chances of winning the prestigious Ballon d’Or award. Despite being considered a top contender for the title, Mbappé remained calm and downplayed his prospects. “I’m not the one who gives it out,” he said, acknowledging that the decision ultimately rests with a group of journalists.
While many see Mbappé as a strong candidate for the Ballon d’Or, he emphasized that the Golden Shoe award is the only accolade he can directly influence through his performance on the field. “Because that depends on my feet,” he added, highlighting his focus on his game rather than individual awards.
With his recent move to Real Madrid and a standout season behind him, Mbappé’s remarks come at a time of heightened anticipation in the football world. Despite the buzz surrounding his potential Ballon d’Or win, the French forward maintained a humble attitude. “If I win it, great. If not, I’ll be fine,” he stated.
Recently, Mbappé reached a significant milestone by scoring his 50th goal for France and providing an assist in a match against Germany. The Real Madrid star played a crucial role in his team’s 2–0 victory, showcasing his talent and skills on the field. Aurelien Tchouameni, also from Real Madrid, set up Mbappé for the opening goal before the French captain returned the favor by assisting Michael Olise for the second goal.
