[Saba Sports News] Before France’s UEFA Nations League third-place playoff, captain Kylian Mbappe attended the pre-match press conference. When asked about who he would vote for in the Ballon d’Or, Mbappe clearly stated that he would vote for teammate Ousmane Dembele, who currently plays for Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappe believes that although there may be many changes before the voting deadline, at this stage, Dembele and young Barcelona talent Lamine Yamal have both performed admirably. However, Dembele is more deserving of the Ballon d’Or. This season, Dembele has shone brightly, contributing to 46 goals in 49 games, leading Paris Saint-Germain to achieve a treble, including their first Champions League title in history. He also won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot and was named MVP of the Champions League season. These achievements make him highly competitive in the race for the Ballon d’Or, and Mbappe’s support based on these achievements is reasonable.
