Ballon d'Or Power Ranking - May 2019

#5 Kylian Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Kylian Mbappe's rise has been meteoric and he's shined in France for Paris Saint-Germain. The prodigiously talented Frenchman is potentially Lionel Messi's only real contender for the Golden Shoe award with 30 goals in Ligue 1.

However, only three of those came in what was a barren April for the youngster.

Mbappe was a part of the PSG side that blew a 2-0 lead in the French Cup final against Rennes. He was in fact sent off late in the game which potentially cost the Parisians the trophy.

The suspension meant he missed his side's games against Nice and Montpellier, but he is all set to return and finish the season on a positive note.

However, a disappointing month means he slides 2 spots to #5 on this list and well out of contention for the Ballon d'Or.
