Ballon d'Or: Will Mbappé Follow Ronaldo and Figo?
Kylian Mbappé is competing for the Ballon d'Or in 2026, despite his lack of team trophies with Real Madrid and the French national team. The award is based on individual performance, impact, titles, and sportsmanship. Historically, two players have won the Golden Ball without team trophies: Luís Figo in 2000, awarded for his fair play despite few titles, and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013, recognized for his individual stats despite his team being eliminated in the semi-finals. Now, the question arises: can Mbappé surpass the traditional criteria of titles and secure the award based on his individual performances, facing competitors like Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal, before the ceremony on October 26?
