football365.com —

Lamine Yamal's uncle criticized Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or victory, saying football fans would prefer to watch his nephew over the England striker. Kane won the award on Monday, becoming the first Englishman to do so since Michael Owen in 2001, after scoring 61 club goals for Bayern Munich and six at the World Cup. Yamal's uncle claimed his nephew was the best player and that voters favored Kane due to Yamal's youth. Barcelona president Joan Laporta said Yamal deserved the award and expressed confidence he will win it in the future. Yamal, who won the young player award for a third straight year, was a finalist alongside Kane and Kylian Mbappe.
