Thibaut Courtois backs Kylian Mbappe to win Ballon d’Or next year

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes Kylian Mbappe will claim the Ballon d’Or next year, after the France forward narrowly missed out on this year’s award.

Mbappe finished second in the voting, just 28 points behind winner Harry Kane.

The Frenchman has made a strong start to the current season, scoring 16 goals and providing three assists in 15 matches.

He was also on target on Wednesday as Real Madrid beat AEK 3-2 in the Champions League, helping his side secure victory.
