Pundit says Lionel Messi poses threat to Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or hopes

Former France international Djibril Cissé has suggested that Lionel Messi should not be overlooked in the race for the Ballon d’Or, despite Harry Kane being among the leading contenders. Cissé praised Kane’s consistency, professionalism, and efficiency, but highlighted that the competition remains wide open. He expressed his admiration for Yamal, Kane, and Messi, emphasizing the difficulties each faces in securing the individual honor.

Cissé noted that while Kane has scored impressive numbers, competitors like Messi, who had a strong World Cup, and Mbappé could still influence the outcome. He believes Kane remains a strong contender but might find it challenging against the top contenders.
