NewzReal Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has publicly stated that Kylian Mbappe deserves to win this year’s Ballon d’Or. Mourinho argues that the prestigious award should be determined by a player's status as the best in the world rather than being contingent upon team achievements in tournaments such as the World Cup or the Champions League.
Mbappe’s candidacy is supported by his performance during the previous season, where he finished as the top scorer in La Liga, the Champions League, and the 2026 World Cup. Mourinho maintains that the award should recognize individual excellence among the small group of players currently considered the best in the world.
