Harry Kane is the only correct choice for the Ballon d'Or

We are running out of words to describe Harry Kane. It is impossible to define a player like him in a single word or put a tangible value on him at the moment.

Facing the best defence in football at the moment, without Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich, Kane did all the heavy lifting for Bayern Munich, from building up from the back to putting the ball in the back of the net.

Many predicted he would struggle without his playmakers spoon-feeding him the goals, but Harry Kane proved doubters wrong. The Englishman registered two key passes and one big chance created, which ended up becoming an important equaliser for Bayern just before the break.

That is not to mention the audacious moment when he took over Manuel Neuer's goal kick duty and fired a pinpoint pass to Davies for the breakaway, only for Serge Gnabry to squander the chance.

Of course, he had to put the cherry on top of this performance with a goal for himself. He is such a complete player. On his own, he lifts the other players around him to the next level, not just the other way around.
