This Saturday morning, Kylian Mbappé can officially add a trophy to his collection. The Real Madrid striker and captain of the France team won the French Player of the Year trophy awarded by France Football for the fourth time.
A trophy that he won by a narrow margin since a certain William Saliba came close to winning it. Only five points separated the two players from Bondy. Moreover, in the moment granted to France Football for the presentation of the trophy, Mbappé who had placed Saliba at the top of his votes believes that his partner from the France team and Arsenal would have been a legitimized winner. “You have to be fair. He would have deserved it too,” underlines the Real striker on the sidelines of the presentation of his trophy.
