Kylian Mbappé, captain of the French national team, addressed the media prior to the play-off of the Nations League, where the second place of the World Cup opposite Germany will be confronted.
The attacker revealed that he would vote for Ousmane Dembélé about Lamine Yamal for the Ballon d'Or and insisted that PSG's Champions League triumph did not affect personally.
On the Ballon d'Or: “I would give the balloon d'Or to Ousmane Dembélé. Would I vote for him? Yes. Do I really have to explain that? If we compare Yamal and Dembélé, I would opt for Dembélé. My voice is clear.”
About long-term goals with the national team: “We have a long-term vision: the World Cup. We get faith in attack, but we also have to build the same trust in defense. Many players will soon come back-we have had many injuries. We must continue to work.”
More about the Ballon d'Or: “The situation changes very quickly, as recent winners have shown. Sometimes we don't even talk about the players who win it. A lot can happen between now and September, but today we are talking about Dembélé and Yamal – that's why I answered the way I did.”
On PSG, the Champions League won: “I was in Morocco and watched the match in the Fairmont in Marrakech. Want all the details? My cousin and some friends were there, the TV was huge … But jokes were abandoned by the jokes, I was happy for them. It is 100% earned.
On a “blank season”: “A blank season? Really true? What is an empty season? Do you even watch the games? We have won two titles. That is where language matters. Yes, we have missed a number of big trophies, but this year is enriching. PSG Win de Champions League. I don't have things about me.
