showing more life than Messi it has to be said
Mark my words, he's gonna win at least 1 more ballon d'or. Will hold the record as the oldest player to win it.
If Messi bottle this year's ballon d'or, Ronaldo will catch him.
Neither is Ballon d'Or material anymore. It's all PR. Salah is better than both by a good margin. So are Lewandowski and Mbappe.
Mbappe is not on the level of the other two. Other two being Lewa and Salah.
He'll need to win either the PL or the CL and there's no way Man Utd are doing that.
He is better than Messi though and when you watch PSG it's evident.
This this and this. Benzema as well, miles better than CR this season. Same with feckin Vinicius ffsScored a good goal and an assist v Spurs...that doesn't put him in Ballon D'Or contention.
There's players like Lewa and Salah to worry about even if Messi is on the wane.
I don't watch PSG outside of CL and he's not been all that in CL games. Better than Messi and Neymar yes, but he lacks a few fundamentals in his technique.
Sure, normally he's nowhere near prime Messi or even prime Neymar, but with these slow and ponderous versions, he's better purely by speed and power. Technique wise, Mbappe is okay, but nothing special. As an athlete, he's impressive.
If thats your benchmark, then good luck, even prime Neymar is hard to replicate.
One can be impressed by players, without them being the best you've ever seen.
