Neymar, the former Paris Saint-Germain player, shared on Instagram an unexpected gift from his former club. PSG him and his family, including his children Davi Lucca, Mavie, Helena and Mel, offered complete outfits of the club. This attention was warmly welcomed by the Brazilian star, who expressed gratitude to her former team.

In a recent live Twitch appearance with IShowSpeed, Paul Pogba, AS Monaco’s new midfielder, unveiled his top 5 for the next Ballon d’Or. In particular, he defended Kylian Mbappé’s record in the last season, considering that he was not sufficiently recognized. According to Pogba, Ousmane Dembélé should win the prestigious award, followed by Lamine Yamal, Ashraf Hakimi and Vitinha. Kylian Mbappé ranks fifth in this ranking. Pogba highlighted the impressive statistics of the attacker of Real Madrid, including his title as best scorer of Liga and Europe, despite the lack of major collective titles with his current club.

The presentation of the Ballon d’Or, which will take place on 22 September in Paris, will raise many expectations. The question is who will succeed Rodri, midfielder of Manchester City. Paul Pogba’s ranking, though speculative, provides an overview of the names that could be rewarded. Mbappé’s personal statistics, with 44 goals and 5 assists in 59 matches all over the competition, justify his presence in the top 5. It remains to be seen whether this recognition will lead to a victory, but his recent career and performance make him a serious contender at Ballon d’Or.
