On Monday, the magazine "France Football" announced all 30 candidates for the "Golden Ball" award.
Among the contenders is the 18-year-old Kylian Mbappe.
Last season, the talented Frenchman contributed significantly to the successful play of the "Monaco" team, and after moving to the Paris "Saint Germain" team in the summer, he continues to pose a threat to opponents' goals.
In four "Ligue 1" championship matches, K. Mbappe scored 2 goals and made 2 assists. He also stood out with another accurate shot in the Champions League tournament.
In the record books, the sniper surpassed Englishman Michael Owen, who had shone in the 1998 World Cup.
It is worth noting that in the "Golden Ball" selections since 2008, two players have dominated - Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
