Kylian Mbappé is fine. The Frenchman has been in an excellent form since the beginning of 2025, and remains on a series of 14 goals in 12 games for a little over a month. The former PSG player has become unstoppable again, and is applying for the unofficial title of best player in the world at the moment.
Is he the favorite for the next Ballon d'Or? For the moment, the answer is no. According to bookmakers, it is still Mohamed Salah who is the number 1 currently. Then comes Mbappé, and a slew of Liga players: Vinicius, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal or Robert Lewandowski and Jude Bellingham.
Salah in front of Mbappé, but …
It is quite logical that Salah is the favorite n ° 1 at present. He is the first player in Europe to have crossed the 50 goals and assists since the start of the season. And Liverpool, a solid leader of the Premier League, is off to a crowd to be crowned Champion of England.
However, it is far from finished for Mbappé. In odd years, the results of the Champions League play an important role in the allocation of the Ballon d'Or. A new success of Real Madrid would place Mbappé in an excellent position, even if it will also be necessary to follow the course of FC Barcelona, whether on the European scene or in Liga. Mohamed Salah therefore took a short step ahead, but nothing is final.
