Kane Faces Tough Challenge to Win Ballon d'Or

Former Russian national football team player Sergey Kiryakov shared his opinion on Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or. The expert expressed his thoughts during an interview with the online publication "Euro-Football.ru."

"He will never win the Ballon d'Or. During the Messi and Ronaldo era, no one else managed to claim this award, except Luka Modric.

Now, the era of Yamal and Mbappe has begun. Competing during this period is not easy either.

Back then, Lewandowski was considered significantly stronger than Kane, yet even he could not win the Ballon d'Or. Now, Lewandowski is in the final stage of his career, but the era of Yamal and Mbappe has arrived.

Moreover, Vinícius should not be forgotten. Although the Brazilian player's form has slightly declined, he can still be a contender for the Ballon d'Or," Kiryakov stated.

In 2025, the Ballon d'Or was awarded to PSG winger Ousmane Dembélé. Barcelona's Lamin Yamal secured second place in the rankings, while Dembélé's teammate Vitinha claimed third place.
