The Battle for the Ballon D'or, Red-hot: Three Madridists and Three Culers in the Top 10

The Ballon d'Or list for this season is between Madrid and Barça and the favorite is a Merengue.

The white club knows perfectly well that it has several of the best footballers in the world in its squad due to what they have been able to show this season. The great addition this campaign has been the arrival of the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé as one of the best players in the world. This is why there is talk of the possibility that a Madridist could win the Ballon d'Or this year.

In light of this, they would have released the possible list of the best players on the planet, where three Madridists reside. In seventh place, we can find Jude Bellingham, followed by Vinícius in sixth place. However, the one who stands out the most among them is Kylian Mbappé, who is in second place, above Raphinha and below Mohamed Salah.

This could be an excellent Ballon d'Or ranking if the Frenchman continues at this level. Meanwhile, Barcelona also has three possible 'winners' of the award like Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Lewandowski, all below Mbappé.

Trust in Their Players

The merengue squad has consolidated an important base of young footballers, as well as veterans of great weight. However, the arrival of this player has been the icing on the cake for Florentino's project.

The French player had quite a few difficulties finding his best version at the start of the season. Nevertheless, today he has shown an outstanding level, which could continue to improve over time.

If he is currently in the running for the Ballon d'Or, it is for a good reason, not in his more than 30 goal contributions this season. The quality of the Frenchman could take him to the top with Madrid and, finally, achieve European successes at the club level.

It's Now or Never

With the possibility of turning this situation around and taking the spot from the Egyptian, it may be the prelude to the Frenchman's first Ballon d'Or. In addition to a possible golden era that continues with these players in the white ranks.
