He came close in 2018, finishing fourth after France\u2019s triumph at the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, Mbapp\u00e9 scored 30 goals and registered 18 assists for Paris Saint-Germain, but the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now at Real Madrid, the French striker is determined to fulfil his dream, but he will need to combine impressive statistics with major trophies to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em>Marca<\/em>, the examples of Rodri, Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 and Kane show that individual dominance must be accompanied by team success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbapp\u00e9 still has time to win the award, but his next objective is clear: help Real Madrid win La Liga or the Champions League and play a leading role in those triumphs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scored numerous goals during the season, but that was not enough for the Real Madrid striker to win the 2026 Ballon d\u2019Or.
