In the 2023 edition of the Ballon d’Or, Mbappé came in third place, behind Haaland from Manchester City and Messi, his former teammate at PSG and currently at Inter Miami. This was the player’s best rating in the “France Football” magazine ranking as the best player in the world to date. The previous season, he scored 54 goals in 56 games and provided 14 assists, both for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team.
In addition to winning the Ligue 1 title and the French Super Cup in 2022 (although he did not play in the final), he was runner-up in the World Cup in Qatar. In the 2023/24 season, the striker has already scored 14 goals in 14 games for PSG and the French national team, in addition to providing two assists.
