Will Mbappe win the 2026 Ballon d'Or?

Kylian Mbappe has shown very good form since the beginning of the 2025/26 season and if he avoids injury, the 2026 Ballon d'Or or The Best 2026 award will hardly escape this striker.

Mbappe makes Champions League history.

In the early morning of October 1, Mbappe scored 3 goals in Real Madrid's 5-0 victory over host Kairat in the Champions League qualifying round. The striker born in 1998 continued his excellent form, scoring in 8 consecutive matches at all levels. In Real's shirt alone, Mbappe has 13 goals when the new season has passed nearly 2 months.

Journalist Tomás Roncero of AS affirmed that the 2026 Golden Ball or The Best 2026 award will hardly escape Mbappe's hands, if he continues to play like he is now.

"With 13 goals in nine games, including five in the Champions League in just 180 minutes, Mbappe is on track to break all records. He joins the likes of Raúl, Ronaldo Nazário, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema with hat-tricks in European competition," said Roncero. "Who is in better form than Mbappe in Europe right now?"

"Mbappe has proven that he has no rivals in the 2026 Ballon d'Or race if he continues to play at this explosive level," the Spanish journalist emphasized. "Mbappe reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo at his peak, and if he avoids injury, the 2026 Ballon d'Or is almost within reach."

In the 2024/25 season, Mbappe scored 43 goals in all competitions, including 31 goals to win the La Liga Golden Boot and European Golden Shoe. However, he lost out in the race for the 2025 Golden Ball and only finished 7th overall.
