Kylian Mbappe – Messi & Ronaldo
Ronaldo or Messi? Messi or Ronaldo? Mbappe couldn’t decide.

It’s like choosing between your father or your mother, you can’t,” Mbappe said. “For all my generation, the Ballon d’Or was definitely related to the battle between Leo and Cristiano. Digging very deep into my memory, I also remember a little bit about Ronaldinho [winner of the Ballon d’Or in 2005].” “But, to be honest, everything was destroyed by the greedy two! They have shared the prize for so long. Every year, like everyone else, I wonder which of them will get it. Looking back, the battle was pretty crazy.”
