Mbappe: Speeches bring bad luck

Mbappe

France and Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has said he has not prepared a speech.
Mbappe is among the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or. But he insists that speeches bring bad luck.

"I haven't prepared a speech, because it brings bad luck. We'll see what happens tonight. I just want to enjoy it. We're coming with a smile after winning 'El Clasico'. Harry Kane deserves the applause of the fans, let him enjoy it," Mbappe said before the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony.
