BELGIAN ALSO “WET” WITH MBAPPE TO MADRID
Kevin De Bruyne continues to be one of the best midfielders and players in the world. UEFA itself confirmed this by nominating the Belgian for the best player of the year award along with Leo Messi and Erling Haaland. Now the Manchester City footballer has made headlines again after an interview with Sky Sports in which he was asked about some of the top three players and one of them was trying to predict the next Ballon d’Or winners.
In this particular list, the Belgian international decided to put his teammate Haaland in first place, followed by Vinicius, while Kylian Mbappe remained in third place. De Bruyne seemed to be in awe of the Brazilian striker’s level in numerous Champions League clashes in which the striker made his mark whenever he could.
Vinicius has what Mbappe obviously needs
However, it was surprising that Mbappe stayed behind Vini, to which the Belgian replied that he would have a much better chance of winning the Ballon d’Or if he left PSG. “I think it is harder for Mbappe to win the Ballon d’Or at PSG. There are rumors that he can beat Real Madrid, so maybe I would put him first (on the podium) or something like that,” said the 32-year-old.
For De Bruyne and much of the European football scene, the Paris team’s sporting project is not going well for the French striker. Necessity suggests that his performance must be present in a more competitive league. As such, many have been able to confirm that these three A’s could be responsible for dominating football in the coming years, although at the moment Vinicius seems much closer to Haaland than Mbappe, contrary to what was reported a few months ago. , foresaw.
De Bruyne, who was more influenced by Madrid
Another of the “tops” where the City player has left some controversy is the list of the best midfielders. The Belgian has included Andres Iniesta on the list, but placed Luka Modric and Zinedine Zidane ahead of the world champions with Spain, both linked primarily to Real Madrid.
