Aston Villa manager, Unai Emery, has revealed his choice to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.
Emery made the comment after Aston Villa’s 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.
The former Arsenal manager praised the player’s impact for both Napoli and PSG, saying he has been among the standout performers in recent seasons.
“He is fantastic. Of course, his impact was fantastic two years ago in Napoli and now at PSG. He was one of the best players that was not at the World Cup, and he is fit.
“The decision isn’t mine, but I think he can win this trophy,” Emery said.
The Ballon d’Or race is expected to feature several leading players, including Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.
