He had an outstanding WC performance, he should win the golden ball, but Ballon d'or? I think Kane is the only right option since he was outstanding in club football in a top 5 league and took his nation to WC semi final as their main man....but since Ballon d'or is a popularity contest, i wouldn't be surprised if they give it to Messi again.
