Lamine Yamal’s uncle slams Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or victory in outspoken rant
Lamine Yamal’s uncle has fiercely criticized the decision to award Harry Kane the Ballon d’Or, arguing that fans buy tickets to watch his nephew rather than the Bayern Munich and England striker, according to Metro.
Kane secured the prestigious accolade at the London ceremony, beating Kylian Mbappé into second place, while 19-year-old Yamal finished third and picked up the Young Talent of the Year prize.
Speaking out against the final voting results, Yamal’s uncle voiced his frustration over the winner. Although the Spanish teenager missed out on the main trophy, his stellar year for Barcelona and Spain leaves many predicting he will lift the golden ball in the near future.
