Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has compared himself with France team-mate Ousmane Dembele.

Dembele, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, won the Ballon d’Or last year. Mbappe, despite his status as one of football’s leading players, has yet to receive the award.

Both France internationals have been included among the nominees for the latest Ballon d’Or.

The winner will be announced on 26 October.
