He should be the third best player when they finally awards the best players in the world after Lionel Messi, and Erling Haaland when they finally get to announce the Ballon d'or winner next year January.
I do not think Kylian Mbappe can be amongst the top 3 players this year best player award; he has fallen off radar thanks to Erling Haaland masterclass treble season with Manchester city and Lionel Messi triumphant worldcup campaign. Mbappe also had an excellent worldcup performance; but i do not think that willl be enough for him
Mbappe needs the Real Madrid move desperately, to push his media hypes and be more recognized for the world prized event.
