2023 Ballon d’Or: Haaland In Prime Position To Win After Man City’s Treble

The chances of Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland clinching this year’s Ballon d’Or award, are high, after his team won the Treble this season.

Pep Guardiola’s men defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul on Saturday night to lift the Champions League final trophy.

Last weekend, City saw off Manchester Untied 1-0 at Wembley to win the FA Cup.

They had overhauled Arsenal to clinch their third successive Premier League title, powered by Haaland’s 36 goals in 38 matches.

Haaland has now become the first outright Premier League Golden Boot winner to also win the Champions League final since Cristiano Ronaldo did it with Manchester United in 2007-08.

The Norway striker scored a total of 52 goals in his debut season in England. This makes him the top scorer across Europe’s top leagues.

Haaland will, however, have to contend with departing Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe for the Ballon d’Or prize.

Speaking on the Kylian Mbappe Transfer Scandal is Florentino Perez.

Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, has discussed the prospect of signing Kylian Mbappe to his team.

On Tuesday, October 18, 2022, during the 66th annual Ballon D’Or football honors ceremony in France, Perez gave a speech. He claims that reading or responding to inquiries on the French footballer will never get old.

No, I am not tired about Kylian Mbappé rumours but I’m not even reading the stories about Mbappé. We have great future with Vinícius and Rodrygo — they’re top players, and they can win the Ballon d’Or.

Mbappe reportedly requested a transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in the media. The footballer, who said he was equally stunned by the revelation, has rejected the reports, though.

Edouard Mendy’s team mates Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, and Romelu Lukaku all made the 30 man shortlist with his name missing after he had a very god first campaign with Chelsea wining the Champions league and keeping a record 9 clean sheets.

Speaking to Canal+ (via Wiw Sport), Mendy said: “It’s something that motivates me and pushes me to work. Honestly, I am wondering. If I had played for France and had taken part in the [European Championships], would we have this debate and this reflection? “Do I think it’s an injustice? No, I wouldn’t use that word. It’s something that motivates me to go forward, to work and be performant at club level and with my country, and as I said after the game with the national team, it’s the journalists’ freedom of vote and expression, and they vote honourably and conscientiously.”
