Mbappe says 2024 could be his Ballon d'Or year

Kylian Mbappe has publicly stated that this year could be the moment he wins the Ballon d'Or for the first time. Speaking ahead of the upcoming fixtures, the French forward expressed confidence in his own form and in the squad’s ability to challenge on all fronts.

Mbappe joined Real Madrid in 2023 after a highly successful spell with Paris Saint‑Germain, where he became one of the world’s most prolific scorers. His arrival at the Spanish giants was seen as a major boost to the club’s attacking options.

The striker believes that the combination of a strong midfield core and the team’s recent successes in domestic competitions create a perfect environment for him to shine. He has consistently delivered key performances in both league and European matches, reinforcing his case for individual accolades.

Winning the Ballon d’Or would be a historic milestone, marking the first time a French player has claimed the award since Michel Platini in 1983. It would also cement Mbappe’s status among the elite of world football.

Looking ahead, Mbappe’s focus remains on maintaining his high level of play as Real Madrid prepares for the remainder of the La Liga season and the Champions League campaign. The forward is determined to keep contributing to the team’s quest for silverware while pursuing personal recognition on the global stage.
