France striker Kylian Mbappe realised that he would not win the Ballon d'Or this year after losing the 2022 FIFA World Cup final to Argentina.
Kilian Mbappe, Getty Images"Messi should have won the Ballon d'Or because he won the World Cup. He is one of the greatest in history, if not the greatest, in my opinion.
Holland and I had a great season. But compared to winning the World Cup, it doesn't matter. On the night of 18 December, I realised that I had lost not only the World Cup but also the Ballon d'Or. Leo deserved it," RMC Sport quoted Mbappe as saying.
