Kylian Mbappe was once again the standout for Real Madrid in their nervy win over Elche, and it seems like writers and journalists write that sentence every week.
Mbappe is now up to six goals for Real Madrid this season, and it is a number that should definitely be higher considering the amount of chances he has missed. He is not the only one, as his teammates are at fault, too. It is a collective issue that will slowly but surely go away.
With Mbappe, though, the counter argument is always that he scores largely when it matters for Real Madrid. He has scored in every single Real Madrid game bar one, and a goal and assist to give his side the win against Elche was all that fans could ask from him.
Kylian Mbappe calls himself the best in the world and consistently backs it up
They wanted more from the team in front of goal, but Mbappe delivered phenomenally once again when the pressure was on. That, exactly, is why he keeps seperating himself from his peers as the best player in the world.
There have been so many interviews recently about him trying to advocate his case for the Ballon d'Or this season - and he has not been the only one - and despite going trophyless, he has a pretty good reason to win it.
There are other candidates who deserve it just as much as him, if not more. There are other players who have started the season slightly better than Mbappe, but as is always the case with the Frenchman, when the tough gets going, he ups his game, too. He is easily the most consistent goalscorer in the world for the last few years, and he does it consistently when the team needs him most, but he rarely gets the praise he deserves in that regard.
Individually speaking, Mbappe made history in the biggest competition in sports, as well as finishing as the top scorer in the league and the Champions League.
This article is not about his reasons to win or not win the Ballon d'Or. It is to simply reiterate his opinion of him being the best player in the world, and it will be proven again this season.
Mbappe has been called the best player in the world for the last few years, and despite not winning the Ballon d'Or for it, the argument always is that well, he may not have been the best player of a particular season, but he has been the best and most talented player that football has to offer since Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo left Europe.
There are many players who call themselves the best in the world and not perform well in the biggest tournaments, but Mbappe does it. Even in the small games, when the team needs him, he is always there. His job is to score goals, and he always obliges.
