Le Parisien newspaper reported that the 2024 Ballon d’Or battle revolves around the trio of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane at the present moment.
The newspaper considered in its report that the conflict was very intense between them, and that the Champions League final would practically decide the title in favor of one of them.
Mbappé holds the distinction in part as the most goalscorer of the trio with 43 goals in all competitions, while Bellingham’s influence at Real Madrid is highly regarded.
If Bayern Munich bids farewell to the Champions League in the semi-finals, Harry Kane’s chances will almost disappear due to his zero season in terms of tournaments despite his brilliance individually.
The report hinted at another fact, which is that the Euro 2024 competition will play a role in determining the identity of the winner of the Ballon d’Or, specifically if a player outside the trio presents a unique performance.
But in general, the report believes that Mbappe is the most fortunate so far, unless Bellingham succeeds in leading Real Madrid to win the fifteenth, or a new unexpected event occurs in the Euro.
