Surprise in the "France Football" vote: Mbappé ahead of Dembélé
Published
An unexpected ranking is making headlines in French football. According to the website Goal.com, a vote cast by a member of the "France Football" jury, identified as Garcia, placed Kylian Mbappé in first place on his list.
Kylian Mbappé received 15 points in this list. He finished ahead of Ousmane Dembélé, who won the 2025 Ballon d'Or. This result is surprising, because Dembélé is the official winner of the most important award in individual football.
The article also mentions the vote concerning Harry Kane, the English striker, whose ranking is also described as unexpected. The available information does not give further details about the other players on the list.
This type of vote is part of the process used each year to designate the best player in the world. The final Ballon d'Or results remain the only official ranking published by the magazine.
