Deschamps speaks on Mbappe’s Balon d’Or chances

Sports Brief earlier reported that France's national coach, Didier Deschamps, made a bold claim about Kylian Mbappe's Ballon d'Or prospects.

Deschamps, who coaches the Paris Saint-Germain star at the national level, believes it is only a matter of time before the young Frenchman claims football's ultimate individual prize.

Despite Lionel Messi being the frontrunner for this year's accolade, with his former PSG teammate considered an outlier, Deschamps firmly believes the French forward could eventually secure the coveted trophy.
