Kylian Mbappe has been stimulated as the player to win the next four Ballon d’Or Awards according to Football Manager 2024.
Football Manager 2024 agrees that the 2023 edition of the award would be the last time the Argentine international will ever win the award.
Football Manager 2024 also stimulated the possible Ballon d’Or winner for the next 10 years and Mbappe comes on top.
Well, without further ado, Futballnews brings you the probable Ballon d’Or winners in the next 10 years in Europe.
2024 – Kylian Mbappe
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
- Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
It was only a matter of time until Kylian Mbappe win the Ballon d’Or, and in the first season of this FM24 simulation, it has been predicted that he would win it in 2024.
In the projected period, Mbappe scored an incredible 32 goals and provided 10 assists in 49 games, which was sufficient to win Ligue 1, but it was insufficient to enable PSG defeat Manchester City in the quarterfinal of the Champions League.
He surpasses Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid (30 assists!) and Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona (40 goals in 50 games, respectively).
2025 – Kylian Mbappe
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
- Bernardo Silva (Man City)
It’s a back-to-back for the French international, who scored five less goals but had five more assists, according to the video game.
Despite having a higher average rating and playing 61 games this year, Bukayo Saka’s 28 goals and 11 assists were obviously insufficient to win over the judges.
Bernardo Silva of Man City completes the top three with a respectable 16 goals and 14 assists.
2026 – Kylian Mbappe
This year, Silva is one step closer to winning the award, but Mbappe remains unbeatable with an incredible average rating of 7.96 throughout 54 games.
The Manchester City player increased his goal and assist totals, moving up to the silver medal position ahead of Bellingham, who has returned to the race following a successful year with Real Madrid, according to the video game.
2027 – Kylian Mbappe
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Rodrygo (Man City)
- Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
With 25 assists and only 22 goals this season, Mbappe has had the most inventive season of his career, matching Messi’s record for the most wins in a row while maintaining an average rating of 7.95.
Three years after joining Man City for an incredible £173 million in the summer of 2024, Rodrygo is standing on the Ballon d’Or podium.
Saka finishes 62 games for Arsenal with 24 goals and 17 assists, earning his spot among the medals once more.
2028 – Jude Bellingham
- Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
Well, this year we have a new winner, Jude Bellingham halts Mbappe’s play of terror after scoring 19 goals and 21 assists across 53 games for Madrid.
He also managed fewer goal contributions than Mbappe, whose average rating of 7.90 was also higher, but Bellingham still did enough to get over the line.
2029 – Erling Haaland
At the age of 28, Haaland wins his first Ballon d’Or after scoring 39 goals in 57 games for the Cityzens, who also finish in second place with another medal won by Rodrygo.
Saka, whose average rating was better than that of the City pair, closes out the top three, meaning that Mbappe is missing for the first time thus far.
2030 – Kylian Mbappe
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Erling Haaland (Man City)
- Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
With 25 goals and 18 assists, the 31-year-old Mbappe climbs back to the top of the mountain with a fire in his belly and wins his fifth Ballon d’Or, tying Cristiano Ronaldo for the record.
Haaland falls to second place with an unexpectedly low average rating of 7.23 despite his return of 37 goals and 11 assists.
Now that he is a striker, Yamal recovers himself in third.
2031 – Kylian Mbappe
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
- Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
In the all-time rankings, Mbappe is now ahead of Ronaldo; his sixth Ballon d’Or will be awarded in 2031. With 30 goals in 48 games, the 32-year-old is still hitting goals just for joy.
With 36 goals in 52 games, Yamal topped that total and finished in second place, which was a personal best for him.
2032 – Lamine Yamal
Okay, a lot to digest here, not the least of which is Mbappe’s absence from the Ballon d’Or record.
In 2032, Yamal, who is obscenely still only 24 years old, wins his first Ballon d’Or. In 55 games, the Spaniard recorded 32 goals and nine assists.
Endrick, making his debut in this simulation, finishes in second place. For £124 million, he moved from Real Madrid to Manchester United in 2029, where he would have his most productive season.
Vinicius Junior, who saw former teammate Rodrygo reach the podium twice before he did, also makes his first appearance in third place.
2033 – Vinicius Junior
Vinicius, who will be 32 years old and in his prime, wins his first Ballon d’Or award after scoring 32 goals in 54 games with an attack that also included Marquinhos, a former Arsenal winger who signed for £59 million in 2031.
Xavi Simons, who finished ahead of Mbappe in the rankings, seems to have inherited the kingdom at PSG.
By the way, Endrick wins the Ballon d’Or in 2034. Indeed, the future of football looks interesting and we can’t wait to enjoy it.
