The PSG striker is considered to have the most chances to win the 2024 Golden Ball title.

According to calculations from Opta, as of the end of April, Kylian Mbappe is leading the race for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. The French striker has had an outstanding season both in terms of individual statistics and the performance of his club. Mbappe has scored 43 goals and provided 10 assists in 45 appearances for PSG this season.

Following closely behind Mbappe in the current race is Jude Bellingham. The English midfielder has also had an excellent season, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists in 37 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions. This is a very impressive number for a midfielder.

Harry Kane is in third place in the race, with strong performances at Bayern. In the colors of the Bavarian club this season, Kane has scored 43 goals and provided 11 assists in 43 matches, a figure that is not far behind Mbappe’s. However, Bayern’s loss of the Bundesliga title this season has diminished Kane’s chances.

Phil Foden and Rodri have caused surprises by respectively ranking behind in the Ballon d’Or race, according to Opta’s evaluation. However, the chances for these two players to win prestigious individual awards based on this ranking are not high. The Champions League and EURO will be important measures for the candidates in the race for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.

Both Mbappe, Kane, and Bellingham still have a chance to win Europe this season. Additionally, the performances of the aforementioned stars for their national teams at EURO 2024 will also be decisive.
