In a surprising statement, Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé openly admitted that he will not be in contention for the Ballon d’Or this year.
> “I can NOT and will NOT win the Ballon d’Or this year,” Mbappé said, making it clear that 2025’s most prestigious football award is out of his reach.
Instead of focusing on himself, Mbappé showed humility and loyalty, saying he would support his close friends Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi in their respective campaigns.
This confession highlights not only Mbappé’s honesty but also his bond with his PSG teammates. While fans might have hoped to see him lifting the golden trophy, his words prove that he values team spirit over individual accolades.
Could this be a sign of a more collective vision for Mbappé’s career—or just a temporary step back before a future Ballon d’Or win? Time will tell.
