Despite winning the Golden Shoe and World Cup, Mbappe ranked seventh in the latest Ballon d'Or, as emerging talents like Lamine Yamal gain higher recognition.
- Last week, Kylian Mbappe placed seventh in this year’s Ballon d'Or voting while France teammate Ousmane Dembele won the award.
- Kylian Mbappe arrived with heavy expectations due to Messi and Ronaldo's standards, as he earned early acclaim by 19, winning the World Cup and being hailed heir to Messi and Ronaldo.

- Despite timing issues, Kylian Mbappe is 26 and analysts say it's not too late for him to win major individual honours after joining Real Madrid, though PSG were poised for European success.
