Kylian Mbappé 2026 Ballon d'Or campaign

Kylian Mbappé wants the 2026 Ballon d'Or, and he's not being subtle about it. No trophy came out of his season, yet he led the scoring charts in La Liga, the Champions League and the World Cup. For him, that haul of individual numbers settles the argument. He said he voted for himself, since in his view nobody played better. Leading every major competition in goals, he argued, is a thing you simply can't ignore. And history, he added, should always be rewarded. So the campaign is basically him making his own case out loud.
