Mbappe has yet to win the Ballon d’Or since bursting onto the scene in 2015. But maybe the French star’s strong showing at an international tournament like the soon-to-be-started Euro will make him one of the hot favorite to win football’s most coveted individual title this year.

Messi and Ronaldo have won the Ballon d’Or 13 times together, but former Scotland player McCoist insists Mbappe’s talent fills the void when both stars play outside Europe. Commentator Mc Coist even rated Mbappe as having surpassed Messi and Ronaldo . The French striker also has many chances to win the Champions League next season with Real Madrid.

After a chaotic season with PSG that saw him win Ligue 1 despite missing out on a UEFA Champions League final, the Euro finals are the Frenchman’s last chance to impress for the Ballon d’Or title. gold, where he will face the likes of new Real Madrid team-mate Jude Bellingham and England striker Harry Kane.

The French striker already has a World Cup winner’s medal and wants to add more international honors to his trophy cabinet in Germany this summer. “Mbappe is one of the best players, if not the best, in the world at the moment,” McCoist said on TNT Sports. Mbappe has surpassed Messi and Ronaldo, replacing them in the most worthy way.

Mbappe’s greatest strengths are his scoring ability and speed, there’s no doubt about that. It’s easy to see that opponents when defending against Mbappe, like Borussia Dortmund did in the Champions League semi-finals, need twice as many people. Schlotterbeck and Hummels faced off against Mbappe and so would any team, if they didn’t want to be outmatched in a one-on-one situation.

I think Mbappe would be better off using his speed when moving from the wing, whether on the left or the right. Mbappe can also shoot with both feet. He has good technique and I think Mbappe is a real threat in the European Championship matches this season.”

25-year-old Mbappe inspired Paris Saint-Germain to a third consecutive Ligue 1 title this season, but the French giants failed to reach the UEFA Champions League final after losing on aggregate. 0-2 in the semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund.

And McCoist, who has 61 caps for the Scottish team, believes that Mbappe has no weaknesses: “Mbappe could drop back and play as number 10, like Harry Kane, but I don’t think he wants to do that.” . Mbappe’s favorite place is from the wing or in the middle.

I don’t think Mbappe has any weaknesses, on the contrary, he has too many strengths, such as extremely fast speed, the ability to shoot and find space in and around the penalty area. I think at this point Mbappe has convincingly won against Messi and Ronaldo.”
