Mbappe, who is widely considered to be one of the best young players in the world has already had an impressive career at the age of 23. He has won multiple Ligue 1 titles with PSG and helped lead France to victory in the 2018 World Cup, where he scored four goals and was named the tournament’s Best Young Player. In the 2021-2022 season, he scored 32 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions.

Rooney’s prediction is not unfounded. Mbappe has been a consistent performer for PSG and has shown no signs of slowing down. He possesses a combination of speed, skill and finishing ability that makes him a nightmare for defenders to deal with. If he continues to perform at the level he has been it is not difficult to imagine him winning the Ballon d’Or in 2023. Continue Reading>>>

However, Mbappe is not the only player in contention for the award. Other top players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski will also be vying for the honor. The Ballon d’Or is awarded based on individual performance so it is possible for a player on a less successful team to win if they have an outstanding season.

Ultimately, only time will tell who will win the Ballon d’Or in 2023. But with Wayne Rooney predicting Mbappe as the winner, it is clear that the young Frenchman is highly regarded by some of the game’s biggest names.
