Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard backs Harry Kane for Ballon d’Or
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has publicly backed Harry Kane as a top contender for the Ballon d'Or following his impressive performance at Bayern Munich. Kane's recent form, including a strong showing against Arsenal in the Champions League, has positioned him as a potential winner.
Why it matters
Kane could become the first English player to win the Ballon d'Or since 2001, marking a significant milestone in international football.
We're now less than a week away from the Ballon d'Or ceremony in London, and Bayern Munich's Harry Kane has a very realistic shot at winning this year's honor. There have been reports circulating on social media suggesting the England skipper has already been told he's the winner, but everything is still speculative at best. For what it's worth, everything seems to be pointing toward Kane duking it out with Barcelona and Spain's Lamine Yamal to get the nod at the London Palladium.
