Yamal's uncle slams Kane's Ballon d'Or win as undeserved

sport1.de (German) —

Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or win has sparked criticism from Lamine Yamal's uncle, who claims the award should have gone to his nephew. Abdul Abdellaoui publicly questioned the decision, calling Yamal the world's best player. Abdellaoui said Yamal deserved the award for his season with Barcelona and Spain, suggesting his nephew's age worked against him. He also mocked Kane's career length, saying the Bayern striker has "about three days of football left." Despite the criticism, Thierry Henry called Kane a "worthy winner," and Kane posted a social media message about letting success speak for itself. Abdellaoui predicted Yamal will win multiple Ballon d'Or awards in the future.
