Harry Kane has shared his thoughts on why top strikers like himself and Erling Haaland may struggle to win the Ballon d’Or despite their impressive goal-scoring records. According to the Bayern Munich forward, attackers who play more traditional roles often get overlooked because voters tend to favour players who create magical moments, dominate headlines, or deliver extraordinary performances beyond scoring goals.

Kane explained that while consistent goal scoring is important, the award usually goes to players with more dramatic influence on big matches, especially those who shine in international tournaments or Champions League campaigns. He noted that the modern Ballon d’Or seems to reward players with standout highlights rather than those who maintain steady output throughout the season.

He also pointed out that the competition is tougher than ever, with creative midfielders and dynamic forwards often getting the spotlight. Kane believes that unless he or Haaland produce truly unforgettable moments on the biggest stages, winning the prestigious award may remain a challenge.

His comments have sparked debate among football fans who argue that strikers deserve more recognition for their consistency and impact on their teams’ success.
