The fans of the culé club understood it as a subliminal message, who knew the opinions and decisions that the French striker made in the election for the best coach at the FIFA gala.
Kylian Mbappé was one of those responsible for the vote that named Coach of the Year at The Best Awards. He is captain of the French national team He has that right and that's why he didn't hesitate to say who should win in each category. What surprised him was his podium, which made him known to the public.
It should be noted that there were 5 nominations for the best coach in the world. Pep Guardiola (Spain), Simone Inzaghi (Italy), Ange Postecoglou (Australia), Luciano Spalletti (Italy) and surprisingly, Xavi Hernández (Spain). As additional information, FIFA stated that the time it takes into account to evaluate each coach's performance is from December 19, 2022 to August 20, 2023.
These were Mbappé's votes for the coaching category at The Best Awards
He placed Pep Guardiola (formerly Barcelona) first for his contributions to the Champions and Premier League titles. In fact, this was the winner of this category with a crushing vote. For the second box, the French attacker praised Spalletti for his achievement in winning Serie A with Napoli, a feat the Partenopeo club failed to achieve 33 years ago.
And thirdly, he lent his vote to none other than Xavi Hernández for his 2023 Spanish Super Cup title and his 2022-23 LaLiga title. But a large proportion of Barça fans understood this determination as a subliminal message. In short, Donatello winks at Joan Laporta and the Egarense coach himself.
After Mbappé's votes at The Best Awards, Barcelona reacts
Every time the French attacker is linked with LaLiga, people immediately talk about Real Madrid. But the Blaugrana team is also involved in this information and it is not new that the player's name can be heard in the corridors of the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. The truth is that Laporta is no stranger to these probabilities either.
From an economic point of view, FC Barcelona has a harder time than its arch-rival Madridista. But that doesn't mean that Kylian Mbappé himself isn't making efforts to lower his wage demands and join the Catalan club. However, this is an almost distant option as the player is motivated by money and has proven this at PSG.
