Kylian Mbappe says he has nothing left to add on the Ballon d'Or, with a week to go before voting closes on the award for the world's best player.

The Real Madrid and France forward told Diario AS he had "said everything" on the subject. "Some did not like that I talked about it so much, but that is how it is," Mbappe said. "I remain calm, very calm. I did everything I could, and I think I did well. Now we have to wait."

He had spoken more than once in recent weeks about wanting the trophy to return to Real Madrid, according to Euro-Football.ru.

The ceremony takes place in London on 26 October. Mbappe is among the favourites on his goals alone. Soccer365 reports that he finished last season as top scorer in La Liga and the Champions League last season; he also led the 2022 World Cup scoring charts. The site adds that he won no trophies with Real Madrid or France this year.

If the voters weigh individual numbers above team honours, that record may carry him a long way. If they do not, the empty cabinet could count against him.
