The debate over who is the best player in the world continues every day, as several current stars are delivering exceptional performances across all competitions.
In this context, Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti (66 years old), one of the greatest managers in Real Madrid's history, has shared his thoughts on who could become the next "King of Football," succeeding Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper AS, Ancelotti said: "It is difficult to determine who will be the new king of football. There are very few truly exceptional players. Real Madrid has Mbappé and Bellingham."
He added: "Lamine Yamal is putting in some great performances, and his Barça teammate, Raphinha, is a fantastic player despite his recent injury, as he showed last season."
And he concluded: "Haaland is also scoring an incredible number of goals with Manchester City."
