Mbappe personally admits: Absent from the Golden Globes ceremony and hopes that Dembele will win the award

Next week, Paris will usher in the Golden Globes ceremony. But there is a superstar who has "taken off" in advance - Real Madrid striker Mbappe. He would watch the ceremony in front of the TV and admitted that he would be sincerely happy if Paris Saint-Germain striker Ottoman Dembele finally won the cup.

"To win the golden ball, you must win the championship first. I have to help the club harvest the trophy first, and then talk about the rest." Mbappe told CBS Sports after Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat of Marseille, "I would be very happy if Dembele won the award. He is my friend, and I watched him grow all the way. I will guard the TV and hope he can reach the top."

28-year-old Dembele has just passed the phenomenal 2024/25 season: 35 goals and 16 assists, won the French domestic triple crown, and helped Paris win the Big Ear Cup for the first time. It has been regarded as the number one favorite in the Golden Globe Awards by many institutions. "The Golden Ball is the holy grail of football." Dembele admitted to the media "442", "After the season, people shouted 'Golden Ball! Golden Ball!' when they saw me, but Enrique and his teammates kept me focused. Now they have four championships in hand, and they have both goals and assists, making it a favorite."

As for Mbappe, his Real Madrid started a good start this season, scoring 6 goals and 1 assist in 5 games. The first round of the Champions League match with Marseille: Although Carvajal was red in the second half and the team was behind for a while, the Frenchman scored twice with two penalty kicks, helping the Galaxy fighter reverse Marseille 2-1. The second penalty was quite controversial - the ball hit Medina's foot first and then bounced up and hit his open arm.

"It is difficult to fight one person less, but the Bernabeu's Champions League genes shine again." Mbappe told the French media, "No one can tell the rules of handball now. I think it is a penalty kick, and some people think it is not; since the referee points to twelve yards, I will be responsible for the penalty kick."

Mbappe will miss the Golden Globes ceremony, which is no longer news. There have been rumors that Real Madrid stars will miss the Golden Globes ceremony for the second consecutive year. Last year, after learning in advance that Vinicius missed the Golden Globes, Real Madrid made the decision not to attend the Golden Globes ceremony. This year, a total of three Real Madrid players were selected for the final 30-person selection list of the Golden Ball Awards, namely Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius. But they are likely not to appear at the award ceremony.
