Mbappé backs himself for Ballon d’Or: no one had a better season

Kylian Mbappé ended last season without any titles.

But the Real Madrid French forward still finished as top scorer in three competitions: the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Spanish league.

He also became the all-time top scorer in World Cup history.

Speaking to L’Équipe, he said he sees no one ahead of him when it comes to performance last season.

“There wasn’t any player who had a better season than mine. I believe I have a chance (to win).”

He scored 58 goals in 60 matches for Real Madrid and France.

He won the La Liga golden boot thanks to 25 goals, the UCL top scorer award with 15 goals, and the World Cup scoring title with ten.

He also scored five times in the World Cup qualifiers, once in France’s 2-1 win over Brazil, and added two goals in the Copa del Rey.

Bayern’s goal machine claimed another European Golden Shoe after scoring 36 times in the latest Bundesliga season.

His 25/26 season brought 73 goals in 65 games for Bayern and England.

An average of 1.12 per match.

Besides finishing as top scorer in the German league, Kane also led the scoring charts in the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, with ten goals. He was only behind Mbappé in the UCL after scoring 14 times, and he also netted in the German Super Cup final.

He got on the scoresheet six times at the World Cup with the English Team, five times in the qualifiers, and once in pre-World Cup friendlies.

And, unlike Mbappé in Spain, Kane won all three possible competitions on German soil.
