Brazilian football icon and multi-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo Nazario has made a bold claim about Kylian Mbappe. The 2002 FIFA World Cup winner has tipped the Frenchman to pick up his first Ballon d'Or at Real Madrid.

Talking to Daily Mail in a recent event, Ronaldo said, "We have to wait until Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is official before talking about it in detail, but everyone is excited about Kylian Mbappe in Madrid. He is an amazing player. He is going to be one of the best players in this moment. I think it’s a very good choice for him if he joins Madrid. I think he will finally get the Ballon d’Or if he joins Real."

Though he won the World Cup with France in 2018, Mbappe has been overlooked for the award till now. The Frenchman finished third behind Messi and Haaland in the 2023 Ballon d'Or rankings.

With Messi and Ronaldo playing outside of Europe, the chances of Mbappe and other European superstars have significantly increased. How soon will the Frenchman get his hands on the Ballon d'Or? Let me know your thoughts...
