Dugarry Calls Mbappé’s Ballon d’Or Push “Childish and Pathetic”
Former France international Christophe Dugarry has criticised Kylian Mbappé for publicly arguing that he deserves the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Dugarry said a national-team captain should focus on collective success rather than campaign for individual honours. Mbappé’s case is built on an outstanding scoring season. He won another Pichichi Trophy after scoring 25 La Liga goals, finished as the Champions League’s top scorer with 15 goals, and recorded 42 goals in 44 matches for Real Madrid. However, Madrid ended the season without major silverware, while France finished fourth at the World Cup. Mbappé maintains that individual excellence should carry significant weight in the Ballon d’Or race, despite his teams falling short of major trophies.
