Former Arsenal player, Bacary Sagna is confident Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or this year.
Sagna hailed the individual performance of his countryman, saying that the only thing that could prevent him from doing well is a bad performance at the FIFA World Cup.
Sagna told Goal that he believes Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or this year.
He doesn’t think any other player is as good as the Frenchman has been this season, and he believes that the good form will keep going into the World Cup next summer.
He said, “He will win it. I believe this is the right time for him to win it this year. I believe the World Cup will be a great event with the French national team participating.
“I believe he will do well in the Champions League with Real Madrid. On a personal level, he is already in a good position because he is doing well and is in first place.
“Unless he has a really bad World Cup, which I don’t think will happen, I believe he will win the Ballon d’Or this year.”
Mbappe has been playing very well this season, scoring 38 goals for his club and country.
He has scored 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League this season and is just one goa
