Alexander Isak Names Mbappe the Best Player in the World Right Now
Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has praised Kylian Mbappe, naming the French forward as the best player in the world at the moment.
Despite Real Madrid’s early exit from the Champions League and a second-place standing in La Liga, Mbappe has shone in his debut season at the Bernabeu. After joining from PSG as a free agent in the summer of 2024, Mbappe adjusted to a central forward role, a shift from his preferred position on the left wing.
His efforts have been impressive, with 36 goals and four assists in 52 appearances across all competitions. Additionally, he helped secure the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup for Madrid.
Isak, who has also been in top form this season, was quick to pick Mbappe when asked who he believes is the best player right now. “Mbappe,” the Sweden international said without hesitation. Isak has scored 27 goals in 40 matches this season and played a key role in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup victory.

Maresca said “Enzo Fernández… we’ve signed a winner. Enzo has a winning mentality, he knows how to win – World Cup, Club World Cup. And the main thing is that he’s a winner.”
“I can promise you in the last four or five days, four or five players were asking if he’s coming or not, because they wanted him with us!”
PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.

The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.
