Kylian Mbappe talks Lamine Yamal, Mourinho, Guler, Endrick, PSG, Ballon d’Or: ‘It is an individual trophy’

Kylian Mbappe has been scoring goals with ease for both Real Madrid and France over recent years, but these goals have not translated into trophy success for his teams. Mbappe dismissed criticism that he is detrimental to team success in an interview with L'Equipe. In the interview, Mbappe confidently stated his belief that he can win the Ballon d'Or this year, believing it to be within his reach in the short term.

Mbappe argued that the award should recognize exceptional individuals rather than simply rewarding collective success. He praised Lamine Yamal, Estevao, Arda Guler, and wanted to highlight Endrick's potential. Mbappe also spoke positively about his former manager, Jose Mourinho, admiring his intelligence and strategic mind. When discussing his former club, PSG, Mbappe expressed confidence in the team's ability to challenge for titles.

As the upcoming season is seen as a crucial one for Mbappe and Mourinho to bring trophies back to Madrid, the Frenchman has started the year in fantastic form, scoring five goals in five games across all competitions.
