Mbappe backs messi to claim record sixth ballon dor

A great piece of news for football fans!

According to reports, Kylian Mbappé has backed Lionel Messi to win a record-breaking sixth Ballon d'Or award. This is a significant endorsement from one of the world's top players, who has had a phenomenal season himself.

Mbappé, who has been in incredible form for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team, has been touted as a potential winner of the Ballon d'Or in recent years. However, he has consistently praised Messi, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.

In an interview with French sports daily L'Équipe, Mbappé said: "I think Messi will win the Ballon d'Or. He's been playing at an incredible level for years, and he's still doing it. He's a genius on the pitch."

Mbappé's endorsement is significant because he has been one of the top performers in the world over the past few years. His impressive form has led to him being considered as a potential winner of the Ballon d'Or, alongside other top players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski.

However, Messi's incredible consistency and achievements over the years have made him the favorite to win the award. He has won the Ballon d'Or a record-breaking five times, and many experts believe he will make it six this year.

The Ballon d'Or award is given annually to the best player in the world, as voted by a panel of international sports journalists. The winner will be announced on November 29, 2021.
