🚨🎙️ Harry Kane on the letter he received from Lionel Messi after winning the Ballon d’Or. Harry Kane: Honestly, it’s one of those things I’ll never forget for the rest of my life. Immediately after I was crowned the winner, I noticed a notification on my phone. I didn’t think much of it because I assumed it was probably my family congratulating me. But when I checked, I realised it was a message from Lionel Messi himself. 🎙️Reporter: What was the Message about ? 🗣️Harry Kane:He wrote, “Congratulations, Harry, on your Ballon d’Or. You’re the best in the world, and there’s no doubt you deserved it by miles. I might not be there to celebrate with you, but trust me, my kids and family are here celebrating you. Looking back at your career from the beginning, you’ve given so much to football, and you’ve shown everyone what hard work can achieve.” Honestly, reading those words made me emotional. We’re talking about Lionel Messi, the greatest player of all time, taking the time to personally congratulate me on winning football’s biggest individual award. I don’t think people understand how much that means to me. Reporter: What was your response to him? Harry Kane: I told him how much his message meant to me and thanked him for taking the time to send it. I told him I would cherish those words forever because, honestly, it felt like receiving another special individual award. That message will be framed and placed right inside my award cabinet. Years from now, when I look back at my career, I might forget certain matches or even some of the goals I scored, but I’ll never forget the day Lionel Messi congratulated me on winning the Ballon d’Or.
