Mbappe refused to make further comments about the Ballon d'Or

Real forward Kylian Mbappe commented on the situation surrounding the Ballon d'Or voting. There is about a week left until the award winner is finalized. The Frenchman did not make new predictions or assessments and emphasized that he had already spoken enough on this topic. "I think I've said everything on this subject. People were unhappy when I talked too much about it, but what is what is what is what is. I'm calm about it, really calm. I did my best and I think I did it well. And now we have to wait," said Mbappe. Earlier, the Real Madrid player compared his own situation with Ousmane Dembele, who won the Ballon d'Or last year. Mbappe noted that from a young age he was seen as one of the main contenders for the highest individual awards, while Dembele has long been seen primarily as a talented footballer. The Golden Ball ceremony in 2026 will be held on October 26 in London.
