Mbappé has yet to win the Ballon d’Or since he burst onto the scene in 2015. But perhaps the French star’s great performance in an international tournament like the upcoming Euro Cup will make him one of the big favorites to win the Ballon d’Or. this year’s most coveted individual title.
Messi and Ronaldo have won the Ballon d’Or 13 times together, but former Scotland player McCoist insists Mbappe’s talent fills the void when both stars play outside Europe. Commentator Mc Coist even described Mbappé as having surpassed Messi and Ronaldo . The French striker also has a good chance of winning the Champions League next season with Real Madrid.
After a chaotic season with PSG in which he won Ligue 1 despite missing the UEFA Champions League final, the Euro final is the Frenchman’s last chance to impress for the Ballon d’Or title. , where they will face teams like the new Real Madrid. his teammate Jude Bellingham and English striker Harry Kane.
The French striker already has a world championship medal and wants to add more international honors to his trophy cabinet in Germany this summer. “Mbappé is one of the best players, if not the best, in the world right now,” McCoist said on TNT Sports. Mbappé has surpassed Messi and Ronaldo, replacing them in the most dignified way.
Mbappé’s greatest strengths are his scoring ability and his speed, there is no doubt about that. It is easy to see that when it comes to defending against Mbappé, as Borussia Dortmund did in the Champions League semi-finals, rivals need twice as many people. Schlotterbeck and Hummels faced Mbappé and so would any team, if they didn’t want to be outmatched one-on-one.
I think Mbappé would do better if he took advantage of his speed when moving from the wing, whether on the left or right. Mbappé can also shoot with both feet. “He has good technique and I think Mbappé is a real threat in the Euro Cup matches this season.”
Mbappé, 25, inspired Paris Saint-Germain to win their third consecutive Ligue 1 title this season, but the French giants failed to reach the UEFA Champions League final after losing 0 on aggregate. -2 in the semifinals against Borussia Dortmund.
And McCoist, who has made 61 appearances for the Scottish national team, believes Mbappé has no weaknesses: “Mbappé could go back and play as a number 10, like Harry Kane, but I don’t think he wants to do that.” Mbappé’s favorite place is from the wing or in the middle.
I don’t think Mbappé has any weaknesses, on the contrary, he has too many strengths, such as extremely fast speed, the ability to shoot and find spaces in and around the area. “I think at this point Mbappé has won convincingly against Messi and Ronaldo.”
