Scaloni selects Mbappe and two Barcelona players for FIFA The Best

The head coach of the Argentina national team, Lionel Scaloni, has revealed his votes for FIFA’s “Best Player of the Year” award. Although the trophy ultimately went to PSG forward Ousmane Dembélé, Scaloni notably omitted the current Ballon d'Or winner from his top three.

In Scaloni's ranking, the top spot was awarded to Real Madrid player Kylian Mbappé. The second and third positions went to Barcelona players Pedri and Lamine Yamal, respectively.
