Eden Hazard Details Three Essential Steps for Mbappe's Ballon d'Or Success at Real Madrid
Former Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has provided a clear roadmap for Kylian Mbappe to claim the coveted Ballon d'Or award while playing for the Spanish club. According to Hazard, the French superstar must achieve specific major trophies and international success to secure the prestigious individual honor.
The Three Critical Requirements for Ballon d'Or Glory
Hazard emphasized that Mbappe needs to accomplish three significant milestones to strengthen his case for the Ballon d'Or. First, he must lead Real Madrid to victory in the UEFA Champions League, the most prestigious club competition in European football. Second, winning the Spanish LaLiga title is essential to demonstrate domestic dominance. Third, performing exceptionally well with the France national team, particularly by advancing deep into the World Cup tournament, is crucial for international recognition.
"Mbappé and the Ballon d'Or? He will win the Ballon d'Or," Hazard confidently stated. "He needs to win the Champions League, LaLiga, or go far in the World Cup. But he will win a Ballon d'Or at some point, of course."
Mbappe's Current Form and Ballon d'Or Prospects
Despite multiple nominations in previous years, Kylian Mbappe has yet to secure the Ballon d'Or award. However, since joining Real Madrid, he has displayed remarkable form that positions him as a top contender for the honor this season. The France international has already scored an impressive 30 goals across all competitions for Los Blancos during the current campaign, showcasing his exceptional talent and goal-scoring prowess.
Hazard expressed strong belief that Mbappe will eventually claim the Ballon d'Or, even if he does not win it this year. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid star highlighted that consistent high-level performances combined with team success are key factors in determining the award winner.
The Ballon d'Or remains one of football's most prestigious individual awards, recognizing the best player in the world each year. Mbappe's move to Real Madrid has significantly increased his visibility and opportunities to compete for top honors, both at club and international levels.
