Jamie Carragher expressed concerns about Harry Kane’s chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, attributing obstacles to both the England national team and his former club Tottenham Hotspur. Writing in the Telegraph, Carragher indicated that Kane's goal-scoring prowess, highlighted during England's recent World Cup campaign, has led many to believe he deserves recognition. However, Carragher noted that the nature of international tournaments often favors players from winning teams, which could diminish Kane's bid despite his outstanding form this season. This sentiment comes after Kane's impressive 72 goals this season, which rivals those of Lionel Messi.
