José Mourinho has expressed his belief that Kylian Mbappé should win the Ballon d'Or this year, emphasizing that the award should recognize the best player rather than be influenced by team successes in tournaments. Mbappé, who was the top scorer in La Liga, the Champions League, and the recent World Cup, is among several contenders for the prestigious award.
Mourinho criticized the notion of awarding the Ballon d'Or based solely on achievements like the Champions League or World Cup, suggesting that true greatness is measured by a player's lasting impact on the sport. His comments come as Real Madrid prepares to face Málaga in La Liga.
Watch how Mbappé's performance against Málaga influences the Ballon d'Or debate. With Mourinho's endorsement, fans will be keen to see if Mbappé can maintain his scoring form and further solidify his case against rivals like Kane and Rodri as the award approaches.
