🚨 Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “My Ballon d’Or winner is Harry Kane”.
“Harry scored a total of 73 goals for Bayern and England last season - only Lionel Messi was more successful in a single year this millennium. That is the benchmark”.
“And strikers often win this award. I also asked AI about it. The answer was: Harry has a 68% probability of winning. Let’s hope that’s how it turns out!”, told @_kochmaximilian.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Morgan Rogers regarding Ronaldo/Messi debate:
"Cristiano Ronaldo was my favorite. But I played Lionel Messi in the World Cup Semi Final and he was 39 (!) by then, I can't even imagine what he was like in his prime."
"I can imagine not being able to do anything against him in his prime, like... it's impossible. But it was borderline NOTHING you could do in that World Cup Semi Final too, and he was 39!"
If Barcelona had a striker that scored 73 goals and provided 8 assists, they would be pushing that player for the Ballon d'Or.
You would see endless comparisons talking about how that striker had the second gretest scoring season, ever.
But that's Harry Kane and that's how you know some Barcelona fans' arguments aren't a true analysis. They are just Messi merchandise with the tags still on them.

But somehow, he thinks he deserves the Ballon d’or more
🚨🌕 Thomas Tuchel: “Harry Kane is my Ballon d’Or winner this year”.

🚨🗣️ Thomas Tuchel: "Harry Kane is my choice to win the Ballon d'Or, yeah. After this season, yeah. 70 plus goals."
"Three titles with Bayern Munich. Semifinals of the World Cup and Champions League…"
DID YOU KNOW: in 2023 Harry Kane was the:
-League Top scorer
-European Top scorer
-Euro Top Scorer
-Champions League Top Scorer
but he won 0 trophies that season and finished 10th in the Ballon D'Or
now tell me why Mbappe deserved the ballon d'or 😂
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Pascal Ferré (former editor-in-chief of France Football and former director in charge of organizing the Ballon d'Or):
"The voters of the Ballon d'Or are not naive. They have the experience and judgement needed to assess and gauge a player without having to hear 10 or 15 times that he is the best."
"If a player occupies the spotlight in a strange way, giving the impression that they are pushing the voters into a decision, it can eventually start to irritate voters."
"At that point, the manipulation becomes rather obvious."
• Whom would you give the Ballon d'Or to?
Chema Andrés (Brighton, ex-Stuttgart midfielder): "Harry Kane. I’ve had to suffer playing against him in Germany. I think he’s had an incredible season."
