Bernardo Silva: Mbappe will win the Ballon d'Or in the next few years

The midfielder has been impressed with his former Monaco team-mate and believes he can be the world's best player in the near future

Bernardo Silva has backed Kylian Mbappe to win the Ballon d'Or, but does not think he will lift the trophy this year.

The 19-year-old is shortlisted for the award having helped France win the World Cup, completing a terrific season where he also won a domestic treble with PSG.

Mbappe scored 21 goals in his first season for the French capital club, having initially moved on loan from Monaco before completing a permanent switch this summer.
