Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane and the Irish team of England players that never was
From former boys in green Declan Rice and Jack Grealish to superstars Jude Bellingham, Wayne Rooney and more
Former Bayern Munich head coach and current Barcelona boss Hansi Flick recently commented on the Ballon d'Or debate involving Harry Kane and Barcelona's Lamine Yamal. Flick had no doubts that Kane deserved the prestigious individual award, while also expressing his belief in Yamal's potential to win it in the future. "Harry Kane deserved to win [the Ballon d'Or].
Lamine is also on the level to win this trophy. I'm very proud of him because he reacted very well. We've accepted it and I'm happy it's over," Flick stated, according to @iMiaSanMia.
Flick's response to the Ballon d'Or discussion was commendable. Kane's remarkable performances and individual achievements certainly warranted the win, and Yamal still has ample time to add his own name to the trophy. Given Flick's familiarity with Kane from their time together at Bayern, his endorsement further adds to the Englishman's well-deserved recognition for his extraordinary career.
