Some Spurs fans on social media have been left extremely angered at Harry Kane finishing in 23rd in the vote for the Ballon d’Or 2021.
Kane might be struggling for goals at club level this season but the striker has enjoyed a fabulous calendar year for club and country on the whole, which ensured him a place in the 30-man nomination for the Ballon d’Or.
The striker finished as the top goal-scorer and top assister in the Premier League last season and his four goals in the European Championship over the summer helped the Three Lions go all the way to the final.
However, despite this, the 28-year-old had to settle for 23rd in the list, with Lionel Messi winning the Ballon D’or for a record seventh time.
Some Spurs fans on social media insisted that it was extremely disrespectful to have Kane so low in the ranking on the back of the year the Tottenham man has had.

Spurs Web Opinion:
Given how the voting system is structured for the Ballon d’Or, we know that it is essentially nothing more than a popularity contest. So, I certainly was not expecting Kane to finish in the top 10.
However, even I was taken aback by the fact that he finished so far behind. I simply do not understand how the likes of Simon Kjaer and Bruno Fernandes got more votes than the Tottenham striker.
