Lamine Yamal's uncle criticized Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or win, saying fans pay to watch his nephew, not the Bayern Munich and England striker. Kane won the award Monday in London. Kane became the first Englishman since Michael Owen in 2001 to win the award, with Kylian Mbappe second and Yamal third. Yamal also won the Young Talent award for the third consecutive year. Yamal's uncle, Abdul Abdellaoui, claimed his nephew deserved the award after winning La Liga and the World Cup. He suggested Yamal's youth, at 19, was why he was overlooked.
