Arguably ones of the best footballers in the world at the moment, Kylian Mbappe was touted to be one of the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or, owing to his success with Paris Saint-Germain and the World Cup-winning French team.

In the last edition, Mbappe was ranked 4th, but has now slipped down a spot, after an injury cost him some match time. Altogether, the 19-year-old played 5 matches over the last month - 3 for PSG (2 Ligue 1, 2 Champions League) and 1 for France in the Nations League.

From those 5 appearances, Mbappe only scored 1 goal and assisted 2 others. Further, the match for France ended with a 2-0 victory to their opponents, the Dutch team. Consequently, Mbappe drops from 4th to 5th.
