Mbappe is optimistic about his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or this year.
In an interview with French football, Mbappe pointed out that the newly implemented criteria that prioritize player performance give him a chance to win the Ballon d'Or honour.
This standard could give him an edge over his rivals (Haaland and Messi).
Mbappe told French media he remains the best candidate for the Golden Globes.
"According to the old rules, Golden Globe, I will say no to you".
"However, for the new standard, the individual performance of the players is the most important thing."
"We ask you to choose the most impressive players, who has the most influence, who is the most decisive, who is the most eye-catching, I have several skills."
"We'll see, but I think I'm still the best candidate, that's the truth."
The Ballon d'Or has been monopolized by Messi and Ronaldo for a long time.
However, with the recent change in selection criteria, Mbappe sees an opportunity to break this duopoly and fight for himself the coveted award.
Mbappe's confidence comes from his strong performances over the past season, during which he has shown great talent and ability and played a vital role in helping France reach the 2022 World Cup final.
And scored a hat-trick in the final, becoming the first person in the history of the World Cup final to do a hat-trick, making history, but unfortunately lost to the penalty shootout.
As the time for the Ballon d'Or announcement approaches, fans eagerly await the outcome of this competitive battle for the Ballon d'Or.
According to the latest odds for the Ballon d'Or: Messi first, Haaland second, Mbappe seventh.
Will it be Messi's 8th award, or Mbappe and Haaland's 1st award?
Who's going to spend it, wait and see!
