As captain of Les Bleus, Kylian Mbappé recently spoke to TF1. The Real Madrid striker has already picked his favorite to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or. According to Mbappé, Lamine Yamal is not in the running for the most coveted individual award in world football.

"Does Ousmane Dembélé deserve it? Of course! If it were up to me, I’d deliver it to his house myself. I hope Achraf Hakimi finishes high because defenders deserve more recognition. Lamine Yamal? Well, not him, he plays for Barcelona (laughs). But he’s a really good player!" said the former PSG star.

🚨 Kylian Mbappé concernant le Ballon d'Or ! 🌟👀 "Ousmane Dembélé le mérite ? Bien sûr ! Si ça dépendait que de moi, je lui apporterais chez lui. J'espère que Achraf Hakimi sera bien placé car il faut valoriser les défenseurs. Lamine Yamal ? Bon, lui non c'est un Barcelonais
