Mbappé Wins First Onze d’Or After Outstanding Season

Kylian Mbappé has added a new individual accolade to his collection, winning the 2026 Onze d’Or after receiving almost half of the votes in the public poll organised by French magazine Onze Mondial.

The Real Madrid striker secured 48.2% of the vote, finishing well ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s João Neves on 11.9% and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on 10.8%. The result marks Mbappé’s first success in the award, with Ousmane Dembélé having claimed the honour in 2025.

His victory comes after a prolific campaign for club and country. Mbappé finished as the top scorer in both La Liga and the Champions League, while his performances at the 2026 World Cup further strengthened his standing among the world’s leading forwards.

The Frenchman now turns his attention to the Ballon d’Or, with the ceremony scheduled for October 26 in London. Although the Onze d’Or is a separate award decided by supporters, Mbappé’s latest recognition adds to the anticipation surrounding the upcoming ceremony.

The award has a long history, dating back to 1976, and its previous winners include Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and Karim Benzema. Mbappé now joins that distinguished group as he continues to build his legacy at Real Madrid.
