The English footballer Harry Kane, recognized as one of the top European goal scorers in recent years, shared his opinion on Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentine national team, highlighting that, in his view, Messi is 'the best.' Kane expressed his admiration for Messi's talent and current performance, stating that he continues to play at an exceptional level, especially after his outstanding participation in the Copa America.
In the lead-up to the Ballon d'Or ceremony, which will be held on October 28 in Paris, Harry Kane stated in an interview with GOAL that Messi is currently the best, praising his excellent performance on the field. Although Messi was not nominated this year for the prestigious award, he continues to shine at Inter Miami, where he recently scored a hat-trick against New England after his participation in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers with the Argentine national team.
This year's Ballon d'Or could go to Brazilian Vinicius Jr, the current star of Real Madrid, who is a favorite for the award. On the other hand, Argentine Lautaro MartÃnez was also nominated for the prize following his outstanding performance at Inter Milan, achieving the championship both at the club level and with the 'Albiceleste' national team. In a year without Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo on the list of candidates, the race for the Ballon d'Or is exciting and filled with young talent like Vinicius Jr and figures like Lautaro MartÃnez.
