Franco Mastantuono

Besides Mbappé, another Real Madrid player has spoken out about the Ballon d'Or. Franco Mastantuono has sent a message to Lamine Yamal.

After scoring his first goal for Real Madrid last night against Levante, Franco Mastantuono made it clear that he doesn't want to compare himself to other young talents like Lamine Yamal. "I want to congratulate him on finishing second in the Ballon d'Or. I think he's a fantastic player. Obviously, it's not up to me to say that. I try not to compare myself to anyone, but rather to play for my team, because I believe that's what ultimately leads to individual success," said the Argentine.

Mastantuono is banking above all on his personality and playing style: "I always stay true to myself, I try to impose my game and my personality. I think that's why they chose me in Madrid." The young Real Madrid player thus emphasizes the importance of team chemistry and trust in his teammates for achieving success.
