From the source
Harry Kane was unstoppable for Bayern Munich in their fixture against Arsenal in the Champions League, earning Declan Rice’s awe and respect for his goal and assist in the 2-2 draw.
Rice, who plays alongside Kane for England, highlighted how great Kane is to have as a teammate—while also noting how much of a nightmare he is to play against.
“For me, Harry is the clear winner (of the Ballon d’Or). His numbers speak for themselves. The year he’s had has been remarkable. He’s obviously up against some other world-class players but when you play with him, you realise how good he is – and when you play against him, you see how much of a pain it is.
