Didier Drogba has thrown his weight behind Paris Saint Germain forward Kylian Mbappe to win the 2018 Ballon d'Or while praising Cristiano Ronaldo.
The France international is part of a 30-man shortlist for the coveted individual prize along with the Juventus forward and Barcelona captain Lionel Messi who have both dominated the award, winning it five times each.
Reports claim that the Argentina skipper and the former Real Madrid star will not be part of the final shortlist with the 19-year-old who was named the best young player in Russia and Golden Ball winner at the 2018 World Cup Luka Modric expected to lead the race.
