Former Paris Saint-Germain star Jerome Rothen has hit out at Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe over his recent comments about the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
Mbappe recently backed himself to win the prestigious individual award for the first time in his career following his performances for Real Madrid and France.
Reacting, Rothen criticised the France captain, arguing that he was not the best player in the world last season.
“Everything is calculated in his communication. I don’t recall that those who won the Ballon d’Or in recent years demanded it as much as he does,” Rothen said on Rothen s’enflamme.
