Eden Hazard stated that Luka Modric or the same Lionel Messi are not worthy of winning the "Ballon d'Or" award this year. According to the Belgian, it should go to Kylian Mbappe.
It will be revealed on December 3rd who will receive the prestigious award. After the World Cup, the favorite to win it was Luka Modric, but in the last ten years only two names have dominated these awards - Cristiano Ronaldo and L. Messi.
When asked if he himself feels deserving of this award, E. Hazard remained modest: "Even if I had good years, I cannot say that I deserve to win this award."
"There are players who were better than me. I could mention Modric, but from August to October he was not the same as before.
"If I had to choose, I would give the 'Ballon d'Or' to Kylian Mbappe," added the Belgian.
Despite E. Hazard's preference, many believe that from the French national team the best chances to compete for this trophy belong to Antoine Griezmann.
