William Gallas ranks Lamine Yamal over Harry Kane for Ballon d'Or

William Gallas has suggested that Lamine Yamal is a stronger candidate for the Ballon d'Or than Harry Kane, following England's World Cup campaign. Gallas noted that despite Kane's goal-scoring ability, his performance in the tournament, where England faced disappointment, diminishes his chances. In contrast, Yamal's contributions helped Spain secure the World Cup, and his performances have garnered significant attention. The assessment has reignited discussions about the importance of international play in individual awards. Kane's prolific scoring record keeps him in the conversation, but Gallas emphasizes the weight of World Cup success in Ballon d'Or considerations.
