Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has named his favorite footballer to win the 2024 Ballon d'Or award.
Usually awarded to the best footballers in a calendar year, the Ballon d'Or award has become one of the biggest and coveted football awards.
It has been the envy of football stars as it marks a huge benchmark in one's career. Lionel Messi is the highest winner of the award, having won it a record 8 times more than any other player in history.
Messi clinched the 2023 Ballon d'Or award, becoming the first footballer outside the shores of Europe to win the award thanks to his epic 2022 World Cup triumph with Argentina national team.
The Argentine saw off the challenge from Kylian Mbappe of PSG and France national team and Erling Haaland of Manchester City and Norway to clinch the award.
It has been widely concluded that Lionel Messi's 8th Ballon d'Or award is the last time he will have his hands on the coveted football award as he is nearing the twilights of his heroic career.
With Lionel Messi out of the picture, footballers, fans, and pundits are already making projections on who is going to win the next edition of the award in 2024.
Antoine Griezmann tips Kylian Mbappe to win the award
Atletico Madrid forward and France international Antoine Griezmann is backing his French compatriot and teammate Kylian Mbappe to win the next edition of the award in 2024
In an interview with media outlet Culto Futbol, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner expressed his hope that Kylian Mbappe would be the recipient of the next Ballon d'Or.
“Player who will win the next Ballon d’Or? Hopefully, Kylian Mbappe.”
Kylian Mbappe has been prolific for club and country and will obviously be a strong contender for 2024 Ballon d'Or award.
However, he is expected to face an uphill task, taking on Manchester City and Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland for the award.
Erling Haaland finished second behind Lionel Messi in 2023 Ballon d'Or rankings and is expected to be top contender for the award in the coming years.
Real Madrid and England sensation Jude Bellingham could also join the list of top contenders for the award should he continue on his groundbreaking debut season with Real Madrid.
