Former Sevilla midfielder Steven Nzonzi has backed Kylian Mbappe to win the Ballon d’Or, despite the Real Madrid star's trophyless season. Nzonzi, now at Dunkirk, believes Mbappe is the best player in the world, citing his impressive individual performances. While acknowledging Mbappe's lack of titles, Nzonzi argues that sheer individual brilliance should be the primary factor in the voters' decision.
He emphasizes that no other player in the world is at the same level as Mbappe, though he stops short of placing him in the same category as football legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappe has been a consistent goal scorer for Real Madrid this season, netting nine goals in all competitions, but has also missed several opportunities.
As Real Madrid prepares for crucial matches against Sevilla, Leipzig, and Barcelona, Mbappe's contributions will be vital for the team's success.
