Voted by TM users: Mbappé is Ligue 1’s Player of the Season - 47 goal contributions in 35 games

PSG forward Kylian Mbappé has been voted Ligue 1’s Player of the Season by Transfermarkt users for the fourth time. The world’s most valuable footballer follows Turkish veteran Burak Yilmaz (Fortuna Sittard), who surprisingly led Lille to the title in 2020/21. This time, there was no getting past the World Cup winner, who presented the trophy to his 72 million followers on Instagram.

Mbappé was directly involved in 47 goals in 35 Ligue 1 games, the second most goal contributions in a single season in league history. Only former PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan) reached a higher tally in 2015/16, when was directly involved in 51 goals.

The 23-year-old’s outstanding season is also reflected in the voting results of TM users, with 68.5% having voted in favour of Mbappé. Aurélien Tchouameni, who joined Real Madrid from Monaco for €80 million, Achraf Hakimi (PSG), Lucas Paquetá (Lyon) and Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco) finished second to fifth.
