He said that Ronaldo was his idol, now Mbappé betrays him and revealed who he'll vote for in the Ballon d'Or

It is the topic that everyone is talking about, well, the Ballon d'Or is about to be awarded. Lionel Messi is the main favorite and there is no doubt about that, however, Erling Haaland also has many reasons to be able to win the most prestigious award that can be admired on an individual level.

The Norwegian won the treble with Manchester City and was the top scorer in all the important competitions, but what works against him is that he did not score in any final and he did not play in the World Cup either. As is known, the World Cup weighs heavily on the vote and the fact of not having participated seems to be a devastating disadvantage in Erling's options.

Now, below these two there are some more unlikely options such as Rodri, Vinicius or Kylian Mbappé. The latter shone in Qatar 2022, where he was a scorer and scored a hat-trick in the final against Argentina, but the fact of not having lifted the cup in Lusail and the disappointment of PSG in the Champions League leaves him with a low percentage of chances of take the France Football award. He had recently stated that he felt he had deserved to win it, but now he revealed who he will give his votes to.

Mbappé will vote for Messi in the 2023 Ballon d'Or

Although he goes against his interest in keeping the award, Kylian revealed in the last few hours that he will give his vote to his former teammate at PSG. “In individual terms, he was the best player this year and deserves to win the award,” said the French star. It is not the first time that Donatello publicly expresses his admiration for the Flea and it is a fact that they will have an affectionate greeting if they cross paths at the ceremony.
