After Liverpool’s clear victory against Real Madrid (2-0) on Wednesday evening, Gareth Bale gave his predictions for the season… and sees Kylian Mbappé, although currently in great difficulty, winning the next edition of the Ballon d’or .
Gareth Bale maintains confidence in Kylian Mbappé. At the edge of the Anfield pitch, the ex-Welsh winger let himself be tempted by the game of predictions. If his love for Real Madrid continues, despite the delicate period that the Merengue club is going through, the former Spurs believes in his redemption. Currently ranked 24th, in the last qualifying place for the play-offs, the White House will, according to him, win its 16th big-eared cup.
Even crazier (or chauvinistic), Bale sees Real do the double and win La Liga. This time, the prediction seems more plausible, because Carlo Ancelotti’s men are four points behind leader Barcelona, with one match in hand, that against Valencia, postponed due to bad weather.
“The future golden ball? Mbappé”
After the clear victory of the Liverpool Reds against Real Madrid (2-0) this Wednesday evening during the fifth day of the Champions League, Bale continued his predictions, with the last question: “Who will be the future Ballon d’Or .” Without hesitation, the former Wales striker replied “Kylian Mbappé”. The Bondy native, however, did not convince against Arne Slot’s men, notably seeing his penalty saved by Kelleher.
But already after the third defeat of the Madrilenians on the European scene, the ex-Tottenham full-back/winger had defended the Merengue striker. “Mbappé is the best in the world and it’s only a matter of time before he proves it,” the 35-year-old Welshman confided to the microphone of TNT Sportsbefore adding: “He and Salah missed penalties but as Liverpool won, we will only talk about Mbappé’s.”
