If Harry Kane doesn't win it tonight, the award is officially a popularity contest. 73 goals in a single season for club and country is literally prime Messi and Ronaldo numbers. Silverware shouldn't overwrite pure historical dominance.
A player can win 5 trophies and still be less talented than a player who wins nothing.
Football fans have made trophies the only argument that matters.
Are we watching football or counting medals? 👀⚽
Look at the numbers. 73 goals and 8 assists in a single calendar year.
If Kylian Mbappé or Lamine Yamal put up those exact numbers in La Liga, the media would be crowning them as the undisputed GOATs without a second thought.
But because Kane did it in Germany,
Jamie Carragher was 100% right. Harry Kane would have NEVER won this Ballon d'Or if he stayed at Tottenham. Moving to Bayern Munich completely vindicated his career. Arsenal fans crying in the comments about him winning it tonight need to accept he’s the greatest English striker
Good luck to @HKane tonight @ballondor 🤞🏻
At one stage I was rated higher than Cristiano Ronaldo by the voters in this prestigious award 😎😅
Mbappe has 8 goals in 7 El Clasicos. Messi needed 13 games to get his first 8 Clasico goals. We're watching history, not hype.
Barcelona fans are crying about the loss, but Camavinga literally sat your entire midfield down with one run. He pocketed your players and set up the winner effortlessly. He completely owns that stadium at this point. @FCBarcelona
Let’s be completely honest. Camavinga completely changed the dynamic of the match the second he walked onto the pitch. Tactically, he has a higher football IQ than Bellingham and controls the tempo way better. He needs to be a locked-in starter every single week.
