"Do I really need to explain?" - Mbappé on who will win the Ballon d'Or

Real Madrid and France striker, speaking to RMC Sport, revealed his favorite in the race for this season's Ballon d'Or.

Details: At a press conference ahead of the match against Germany, the star forward answered several questions, including who he would pick as his favorite for the Ballon d'Or—Spain's young winger Lamine Yamal or his compatriot Ousmane Dembélé.

Would I vote for Dembélé? Yes. Do I really need to explain? We're talking about Yamal and Dembélé, I'm going with Dembélé. It's very clear.

However, Mbappé is convinced that a lot can change before September:

Everything changes very quickly, as the last winners have shown. We weren't talking about the players who eventually won.

Is it September yet? A lot will happen before then, but today we're talking about Ousmane and Lamine. That's why I answered the way I did.

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, at just 17, has become one of the main contenders for the top prize after a brilliant season in which he helped Barcelona secure a domestic treble.

Another frontrunner is Ousmane Dembélé, who played a key role in PSG's European treble.
