France captain Kylian Mbappé asserted that no player performed at a higher level than him over the past football season.
Mbappé pointed to his individual statistics, including 25 La Liga goals, 15 Champions League goals, and surpassing Lionel Messi's record to reach 22 World Cup goals.
The striker argued that the Ballon d'Or should reward individual excellence rather than solely crowning players from trophy-winning teams.
