Kane's Ballon d'Or win to generate Messi and Ronaldo prominence?

Gary Neville and Roy Keane discuss why Harry Kane won the award that made Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

Transcript

00:00I was going to ask about that because the Ballon d'Or, to be fair, I have never cared

00:04two hoots about it for the last 20 years

00:06I don't care about it, it's an individual award, it's been something but it's actually got,

00:09it seems to have got more bigger and prominent and more

00:12I always thought that, and I've said this before, Ronaldo was the first person that I ever heard, our

00:18Ronaldo, the United Ronaldo

00:20He was the first person that I ever heard speak about wanting to win personal honours in the Ball

00:25on d'Or

00:25I remember him saying I want to be the Ballon d'Or winner and I thought that is just

00:52year obviously they came close to the Champions League

00:54They've done brilliantly, obviously domestically, like they always do, amazing with England

00:57So you do have to put your team first, and then you will get them rewards

00:59But not the other way around, lads, you still get players going I want on with this, what about

01:03the team

01:04No, no, no, you got it the wrong way around

01:06We've seen it last year with United, we see players getting bogged on by individual awards

01:10It's too much

01:11But a very popular winner

01:13Yeah, he was

01:14Rightly so
