Declan Rice has backed England team-mate Harry Kane to win the Ballon d’Or after Arsenal’s draw with Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Kane’s display included a goal and an assist, strengthening the case for his inclusion among the leading contenders for football’s individual award. The performance also featured a goal-kick, underlining the range of his involvement during the match.
Rice, who plays alongside Kane for England, believes the Bayern Munich striker has done enough to merit serious consideration for the honour. His support came after the Champions League encounter involving Arsenal and Bayern.
The Ballon d’Or recognises the leading individual performer in football, making Rice’s comments a significant endorsement of Kane’s current standing. Kane’s contribution against Arsenal has added weight to the argument that he should be considered for the award.
The source material does not provide the final score, date of the match or further comments from Kane, Rice or the clubs. Kane’s Ballon d’Or prospects remain the focus following his performance in the draw.
