Mbappe is the heir to Messi and Ronaldo’s Ballon d’Or throne, according to Marseille boss Andre Villas-Boas.
Villas-Boas is looking for a way to contain Mbappe as his Marseille side travel to Paris in a Ligue 1 glamour tie on Sunday evening, but the former Chelsea and Tottenham boss wasn’t sounding overly optimistic about his side’s chances.
“He is the natural successor of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d’Or,” he said of Mbappe.
“The squad PSG have is incredible, it’s also well put together this year. [Mauro] Icardi has adapted well.
“With the injuries to [Thomas] Meunier and [Ander] Herrera, I do not know what [Thomas] Tuchel is going to do. He also has [Angel] Di Maria, who is in incredible form.
“The difference between the two teams is gigantic, but we aren’t going to Paris to be part of a PSG party. We are going to try and win the game. You have to sweat for the badge but it is also important to finish the match without any injuries or suspensions.”

When Cristiano won his first Ballon d'or, maybe he had thought that he 'd win many.. But he met Messi... . .And when Messi was winning 4 consecutive Ballon d'or, he never thought that Cristiano will do the great comeback in Ballon d'or race. . If Mbappe meets such great rival then maybe it will be difficult

Rahim Starling is also doing fantastically, he is not a push over over who will be eventually dethrone Messi/Ronaldo reign.

i miss neymar getting those comparisions. im a big fan of him because of him i started watching football and i cry silently everytime he gets injured pretending he can still play there are still matches left but im very. hope he gets well soon and play all the remaining matches and get what he deserve the most in place of all these new generation stars (salah,strling,mane,mbappe,hazard). he will always be the best for me.

Maybe he will win Ballon d'or by scoring highest no. of goals in many seasons... But winning UCL 5 times is much harder.. We can't say too early that he is awesome.. Let him win his first UCL

Mbappe may become the next GOAT but he won't be as good as Ronaldo and Messi are👌
