Former France international Samir Nasri contested Harry Kane’s 2026 Ballon d’Or, believing that the Bayern Munich forward did not deserve it. On the YouTube programme Les Affranchis, Nasri notably criticised the weight given to goals scored and trophies won with Bayern, Seneweb reports.
Kane won the Bundesliga, the German Cup and the German Super Cup during the past season. Nasri also judged that the Englishman had not been the best player in the Bundesliga or the best player in the England team at the World Cup. He cited the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, in which Kane was substituted, while acknowledging his good performance in the first leg.
Nasri also believed that Kylian Mbappé, who finished second in the rankings, did not deserve the trophy. He said he would have awarded it neither to Kane nor to the French forward, without naming another winner in the excerpt.
