I will also like to mention olympiacos and yeah I know olympiacos is not like a big team but just remove mbappe 4 goals. Madrid would have lost (3-0). I don't know why people don't give this performance credit.
I am 100% sure if yamal dembele or any player have done it ( except kane ). They would have glaze it like hell.
Messi was getting goat shouts for scoring 5 in 7-1 win. While mbappe 4 goals are nothing?
Also mbappe has most non penalty goals and most outside of the box goals.
Expected goals - 9 ( outperform by 7 which is most in history btw )

16 goals for national team ( most in 21st century. Yes more than even messi and Ronaldo)
All time top goal scorer in world cup history
If we remove domestic leagues then
Mbappe have 40 g/a in 27 games ( most in top 5 leagues )
Kane is 2nd with only 31 g/a in 29 games
People will say mbappe haven't won any trophy
So does ronaldo in 2013
Gerd muller in 1970
Messi in 2012
Luis figo in 2000
If ballon d'or truly is an individual award than mbappe deserves to win it 100%
