The French International was outstanding for PSG, and he helped them win multiple trophies, including the league title and the UEFA Champions League. There is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the world, and he has thoroughly deserved the accolade.

The 28-year-old scored 35 goals and picked up 16 assists in all competitions last season. Apart from the statistics, his performances were outstanding, and he carved open every defence he faced throughout the season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was also in the running for the prestigious award and the Egyptian finished fourth in the standings. The Liverpool star produced one of his best individual campaigns, and he will be disappointed to have missed out on the award. He helped Liverpool win the league title and broke numerous records in English football along the way.
