Lamine Yamal's uncle makes shock Harry Kane claim after Ballon d'Or win: 'Everyone knows'

Harry Kane has received some scathing comments over his Ballon d’Or win from an unlikely source after Lamine Yamal’s uncle claimed the Englishman was given the award because he has ‘only three days of football left’.In an interview with Spanish radio show El Larguero, Abdellaoui shared: “‘Well, the truth is it’s really sad, I feel really bad.“My nephew was amazing, he was the best player in the world, everyone knows it. If you like football, you go to see Lamine, not Harry Kane.“Harry Kane is a great goalscorer but Lamine is the best player who shines on the pitch and if he’s unlucky, there’s next year.”To the victor, the spoils: Harry Kane lifts the Ballon d’OrPA MediaAbdellaoui’s comments quickly sharpened, implying that Kane had been handed the prestigious trophy out of pity that his career will be over soon.He continued: “Since Lamine is young, they always say he has time, he’s 19, and that’s why they’re not giving him the award. “Harry, with only three days of football left, they’re saying, ‘come on, we’ll give him the award’.“He’s won the World Cup, La Liga, the Super Cup, he plays really well, he’s had an incredible season, he scores goals that nobody else can. Passes, assists, whatever you want.“Lamine will win more than one, but the sadness will pass in three days. In a few days he will be fine.”Read MoreKane was nominated seven times for the award prior to his maiden win, with a previous highest finish of 10th. The 33-year-old scored 73 goals in 65 appearances for club and country last term, the highest single-season tally since Lionel Messi scored 69 times for Argentina and Barcelona during the 2012/13 season.Remarkably, Messi did not win the Ballon d’or that season, but had received football’s most prestigious individual prize the campaign prior after notching 81 goals in 69 matches.
