Kylian Mbappé is however used to participating in this annual meeting. Since the start of his career, the French international had never missed it. A regularity which matched his consistency in the top 10, since once again, the star of the Blues achieved a flattering ranking, with a 6th place this year, despite the difficult period he has been going through since the second part of the season. last.
Mbappé maintains a significant impact
Top European scorer with Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé was unable to compete with some of his teammates at Real Madrid since Vinicius, but also Jude Bellingham (third) and Dani Carvajal (fourth) finished ahead of him. Nevertheless, the captain of the Blues was voted for by a journalist in the voting panel.
He is a reporter from the Ivorian site Sport-ivoire.ci. In this month’s edition, France Football revealed the details of the votes for this 2024 edition of the Ballon d’Or, and Ivory Coast is therefore the only one of the 100 countries to have placed the French international in first place.
