A 2-1 victory turned the Golden Globe Award race around! Mbappe's dream shattered. Barcelona is the top star and the second dark horse [xueting]

Real Madrid lost 1-2 directly to Arsenal in this Champions League match, but they will play in the following Champions League games. It's also impossible for him to continue striving for the championship. With Real Madrid's elimination, Mbappe has lost his qualification in the competition for the Ballon d 'Or. Since this season is not a World Cup or a major tournament season, only the team that can win the Champions League has a chance to win the final Ballon d 'Or.

According to the latest Ballon d 'Or odds list, Barcelona striker Raphinha tops the list with odds of 2.0. He performed outstandingly in this season's Champions League, delivering an impressive stat line of 12 goals and 7 assists. So it is currently ranked first in the Ballon d 'Or and is in the upcoming competition for the Ballon d 'Or. Since they have already made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League, they have a chance to win the final titles in the Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Therefore, it is very likely that they will win the Ballon d 'Or that belongs to them in the end.

The second place was also quite a surprise to everyone, as his performance this season was equally outstanding, especially on the Champions League stage. If Paris Saint-Germain can go further in the Champions League, Dembele also has a chance to challenge for the Ballon d 'Or. With him as the core player, Paris Saint-Germain has directly made the team a semi-finfiner in the Champions League and has also easily won the Ligue 1 title. So now he is in the second position.

Real Madrid performed poorly in this season's Champions League and failed to showcase the style of the defending champion. The team made frequent mistakes on the defensive end and lacked effective organization and coordination on the offensive end. Mbappe's performance has not been very satisfactory either. It seems now that his dream of winning the Ballon d 'Or has been completely shattered.
