Vitinha was threatening the top 10 during the last set of B/R Ballon d'Or rankings, but the Portuguese has fully joined the conversation after the Club World Cup.

Kylian Mbappé will meet his former club, PSG, on Wednesday in the Club World Cup semifinal. It'll be a fascinating reunion for many reasons, not least because of how PSG have grown without him.

PSG has dominated the tournament allowing one goal throughout their campaign. Their only hiccup coming from Botafogo FC after PSG lost to them 1-0 in their second game. After the loss, PSG manager Luis Enrique got his team on track, scoring 12 goals and allowing none.
