🚨Luis Figo on how Lamine Yamal’s recent form affects the Ballon d’Or race:
“I see Barcelona fans shouting everywhere that Lamine Yamal is going to win the Ballon d’Or. On what grounds? Because of a few good performances recently?
Listen, I’ve won the Ballon d’Or myself, and I know what I’m talking about. This year’s winner should be judged heavily on his performances at the World Cup.
And no, you don’t necessarily have to win the trophy to deserve it. But what exactly did Yamal contribute throughout the tournament?
He scored one goal, went missing for most of the competition, then suddenly showed up in the final carrying the trophy. I laughed and asked myself, ‘So, is he part of the Spain squad or just a spectator?’
At this point, I might as well put Ferran Torres ahead of him!
Yamal’s current form is impressive, but let’s be honest: that’s something he needs to maintain for next year. My biggest concern is that he still needs to prove he can consistently deliver against the biggest clubs when the pressure is at its highest.
That’s where Mbappé separates himself. He shows up in the biggest games, and we all saw what he did at the World Cup. You cannot compare a player who consistently delivers on the biggest stage with someone whose reputation is built largely on potential.
For me, Mbappé deserves the Ballon d’Or. Nobody comes close. The only thing that could stop him is another controversial decision that leaves everyone questioning the credibility of the award.
Harry Kane should finish second. Mbappé first, Kane second. That’s how I see it.”
Fact that I could tell the man serious about this too🥲🥲🥲…. Man trying to debunk gravity …. Saying it is a whole other force … a force that uses gravity to calculate it 😭
@amourexdelavie Men just can’t accept greatness…. To the point them want to compare him to a man that does basically play as a second striker and use goals as a benchmark 🥲🥲🥲🥲 the hate would never stop
