After Klopp's departure, many said it would be a difficult season for him, but he is experiencing his second spring. He scored 34 goals and provided 23 assists in 52 matches this season. Liverpool's chances in the Golden Ball race have slightly decreased as they did not participate in the Club World Cup. Kylian Mbappe, 26 years old, is a player for Real Madrid. This season marked his debut at Real. Although there were initial difficulties, he later adapted and scored 44 goals and provided 5 assists in 58 matches. The overall season for the team was not very successful, as only one trophy was won, they lost all El Clasico matches to Barcelona, and the head coach changed. Nevertheless, Real is fighting for victory in the Club World Cup. Lamine Yamal, 17 years old, is a young star of Barcelona. Despite his age, he is already considered a bright star of world football. During the season, he scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists in 55 matches. Barcelona won La Liga, the Cup, and the Super Cup, defeating Real in all finals and championship matches. Ousmane Dembele, 28 years old, is a player for PSG. This season has been the most successful for him and his team. So far, four trophies have been won, and they are striving for victory in the Club World Cup. He scored 34 goals and provided 15 assists in 51 matches. Many prestigious publications consider him a main candidate for the Golden Ball. Even if PSG does not win the World Cup, Dembele could still receive this award.
