The France captain left PSG for Real Madrid last summer and won the European Golden Shoe in his first La Liga campaign, but his side ended the season without any silverware.

Ex-PSG midfielder Rothen told: "Mbappe again doesn't deserve to be in the discussion for the Ballon d'Or. Today, he is not in the same league as Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembele. We all know perfectly well that Mbappe doesn't deserve to be there."
