The season is coming to an end, there is about a month and a half left until the end of the strongest championships and Euro cups, and in addition to the battle for the most important trophies, the one for the Golden Ball is also being fought. As it is known, France football has significantly changed the rules. One of the key changes concerns the “accounting period” – so far it was the calendar year, and now it’s the season – but the organizers from the French newspaper also pointed out that in the future, statistics (dry figures) will have a key impact on the final decision. This certainly does not mean that winning a trophy becomes irrelevant. Moreover, it will prevail in situations where the effects are approximately and completely equal. As currently is the case, at least at the moment.If everything went correctly, Sadio Mane could win EIGHT trophies in 2022 😳🏆 pic.twitter.com/5nP4Vq7qzE— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) April 17, 2022 The European competitions have entered the finals, some of the favorites have ended their participation in those fields (Mbappe, Lewandowski), and that, when the line is drawn, could cost them dearly. Last night, Kylian Mbappe managed to keep the first place in the number of goals and assists (collected). His goal from the penalty spot in the derby with Marseille was 32. When 22 key passes are added to that, we come to the number 54. Robert Lewandowski failed to score in Bielefeld, but he recorded an assist. Karim Benzema also made a step forward, as Real managed to turn it around in Seville with his goal. Christopher Nkunku is the least attractive name in the TOP 5 of the five strongest leagues, but the guy is playing great and after tonight’s 19 assists of the season (although he started from the bench due to fatigue) he is only five points behind leader Mbappe.Kylian MBAPPE (PSG) 32+22 = 54Robert LEWANDOWSKI (Bayern) 47+6 = 53Karim BENZEMA (Real Madrid) 39+13 = 52Cristopher NKUNKU (RB Leipzig) 30+19 = 49Mohamed SALAH (Liverpool) 28+11 = 39The list of candidates does not end here, however, having in mind this new tendency of people from France football (for individual performance to be decisive), it is unlikely that a new name will come to the fore. Especially since the performance from the World Cup is not included in the calculation for this season.(2.04) NAPOLI (3.50) ROMA (4.10)It will not be negligible who will take the title in England, that is, who will become the European champion. Bearing in mind that in the second case, it is still the most important club trophy, it seems that Karim Benzema has perhaps the best chances. His Real is in the semifinals (unlike Bayern and PSG), and if he wins the Champions League as well… On the other hand, Mohamed Salah could possibly enter the competition more seriously at the last minute if Liverpool wins the Premiership and the Champions League, and his performance is decisive, which is not the case at the moment, since the Egyptian is a bit goal shy, which could, however change quickly.
