Harry Kane has received another ringing endorsement in his bid for the Ballon d’Or, with England international Morgan Rogers arguing that the Bayern Munich striker has done more than enough to claim football’s most prestigious individual honor.
Rogers believes Kane’s accomplishments have pushed the boundaries of what could reasonably have been expected from him, pointing to his remarkable combination of club and international success.
“Harry Kane should win the Ballon d’Or. He defied what people can imagine that he could do. Treble, and hattricks in finals, Goals in the World Cup, goals for Bayern. What more can he do? That has to be rewarded,” Rogers told Hayters TV (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
It is difficult to argue with the basic premise. Kane has continued to produce at an extraordinary level for Bayern while also delivering on the biggest stages for England. His ability to combine ridiculous scoring numbers with major trophies has strengthened his case considerably.
The Ballon d’Or debate will inevitably include several other elite candidates, but Rogers believes Kane’s résumé speaks for itself.
At this point, the argument is becoming increasingly simple: if scoring goals, winning trophies, and delivering when the stakes are highest are supposed to matter, what exactly does Kane need to do to win it?
