There are few players that scare you when you play them and yet you still admire them. Brilliant footballer, top goal scorer and top man.

St Eve

Thoroughly deserved

Lester Burnham

Good guys do finish first. Couldn't be happier for the man.


bencher

A brilliant role model and outstanding player. So pleased he won.

Dodgin

Well deserved, he worked hard to earn that award. Well respected player.

Grassy Noel

I always thought that in past matches against Spurs that he was the deciding factor.


Thailand Mick

For me this award became a joke many years ago they just wanted a big name winner, when was the last time a defensive player won it. Having said all that Harry Kane fully deserves to be recognised as the best player this year so congratulations to him.

Bona fide legends are few and far between, and he is one.

Fully deserved great player and role model 👏👏👏

Do you think he might fancy a relegation scrap, must be boring scoring all those goals 🤣🤣

Deserved. Fantastic footballer. Seems like a genuine and grounded bloke too.

He's a brilliant player and a fantastic role model and has done great for club and country. He's gone to another level at Bayern, which is great to see. And I'm glad he's got it for the person he is and impact he's had over his career on the English game, for spurs, England etc.

That being said, is it wrong to be slightly surprised that he won it?

Fabian Ruiz who came 10th won the CL, French Ligue 1, the Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup with PSG, and won the world cup with Spain. Kane got three trophies for Bayern and a third place finish in the world cup, admittedly one of England's best ever results, but also got knocked out of the CL Semis. His goalscoring exploits are incredible, I'll give him that, but that seems to be overweighted when it comes to Ballon D'or, as attackers seem to get preferential treatment at the awards and only very rarely do midfielders or defenders get recognition - Rodri, Modric and Cannavaro stand out because they're the exceptions.

I don't like how much Spain and the Barcelona love in was this year - seems to have an inherent bias at France Football towards Spanish based players etc. I appreciate Spain won the world cup, but Barca only got the double and got knocked out at the QFs in the CL and Semis at the Copa Del Rey.

Isn't the Ballon D'Or mostly about who can get the most goal contributions?

Very well deserved and he's definitely one of the good guys.

Lol - just imagine if Lev Yashin and Cannavaro won theirs on goal contributions alone.. That'd be hilarious.
