Why Mbappe deserves to win the 2023 Ballon d’Or award

The 2023 Ballon d’Or, the 67th edition, will take place on October 30 at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris in France.

Among those nominated for the award are Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, current holder Karim Benzema, Bukayo Saka, Vinicius Junior, and Antoine Griezmann. While Messi’s highlight for the season in review is the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he led Argentina to a third title, Haaland played a key role in helping Manchester City win the treble, becoming the second English club, after Manchester United in 1999, to achieve the feat.

This did not in any way deter Mbappe as he carried his club form to the tournament and emerged as the top scorer with eight goals, edging his then club mate at PSG, Messi, who scored seven goals.Prior to the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, the only time an individual scored a hat-trick in the final was in the 1966 edition.

But with two minutes left, Mbappe completed his hat-trick to end the game 3-3 with Argentina going on to win 4-2 via a penalty shootout.France went to the 2022 FIFA World Cup without some of their key players, no thanks to injuries.
