After Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo, will Kylian Mbappé add his name to the list of “The Best FIFA Football Awards”? The Paris Saint-Germain striker is in any case one of those nominated to win this prize awarded by the international body to the best player of the season.
Eleven other big names are alongside him in this list, which notably includes several representatives of Manchester City, winner of the last Champions League. Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gündogan, Erling Haaland, Rodri and Bernardo Silva are notably there. Add to these seven huge talents Italian champions Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen, world champion Lionel Messi, Champions League finalist Marcelo Brozovic and Arsenal’s new record defector Declan Rice to have the full cast.
This is the eighth year that this award has been given. Cristiano Ronaldo won the first two trophies, in 2016 and 2017, before Luka Modric took advantage of the 2018 World Cup to also claim it. Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandoswki then shared the last four editions. Kylian Mbappé finished in second place last year, behind his former Argentine teammate and ahead of his compatriot Karim Benzema.
The captain of the Blues is not the only Habs among the nominees for these “The Best” trophies. Among the women, Kadidiatou Diani, who moved from PSG to Olympique Lyonnais this summer, is also in the list. We also note the presence of Jennifer Hermoso, at the center of attention for several weeks following the forced kiss that the President of the Spanish Federation Luis Rubiales made her undergo after her coronation at the World Cup. In total, 16 players are in the running to win this prestigious individual trophy.
