On Monday, Kylian Mbappé made history as he finished in the top ten of the 2026 Ballon d’Or official rating. He plays for Real Madrid.
In addition to Mbappé, the list also includes Ousmane Dembélé, Harry Kane, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Fabián Ruiz, Michael Olise, Rodri, and Lamine Yamal.
Madrid Xtra reports, however, that the France captain has broken a record by finishing in the top ten of the Ballon d’Or for nine years in a row.
Since Mbappé has never won the Ballon d’Or before, he will now aim to win it in 2026.
But Yamal and Kane will give the ex-PSG star a run for his money.
Mbappé led all scorers in LaLiga and the Champions League last season. In addition to being named the tournament’s leading scorer, he was awarded the Golden Boot.
