Drogba: Mbappe, Neymar Are Potential Ballon d’Or Winners

Drogba: Mbappe, Neymar Are Potential Ballon d’Or Winners

According to former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will one day win the Ballon d’Or award.

Having arrived at the Parc de Princes, Neymar and Mbappe have brought a boost to the attacking department of the Parisians.

And with the two forwards linking up to score 115 goals across all competitions for PSG since the start of the 2017/18 season, Drogba is confident a time will come when both players will win the Ballon d’Or award.

"Neymar and Mbappe will one day win the Ballon d'Or. They are part of this small group of exceptional players. There are very few in the world."

"Neymar likes to create spaces and Kylian likes to move into those spaces. Neymar creates and Kylian profits. It works very well," Drogba said. 

"Just watch them when they are together on the pitch. They are constantly looking for each other. It's almost the first thing they do when they touch the ball. It is obvious that when they are not on the pitch, PSG are not as strong. 

"At the moment, it seems like it's fashionable to criticise him for everything that happened [during the off-season]. But once he's on the pitch, who can seriously say they do not take pleasure in watching him play?" Drogba said.

"The more matches he plays, the more things will change and he will become what he was before.

"I'm sorry, but what happened this summer is what happens in all the big clubs with all the big players. There are some who want to leave and some their clubs want to keep. It's the life of modern football."

Real Madrid’s Luka Modric is the current winner of the award after breaking the decade-long dominance enjoyed between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo last year.
