Real Madrid icon Luis Figo says Kylian Mbappé has done enough on the world stage to be a frontrunner for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Mbappé won the Golden Boot at the last World Cup with 10 goals. He also set a new record as the tournament’s all-time top scorer with 22 goals. Speaking at a recent event, Figo stressed that performances across the whole season count. He noted that success in domestic leagues and the Champions League are equally important. Alongside Mbappé, players like Rodri, Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé are in the running for football’s biggest individual prize.
