Pavard Names Player That Should Win Ballon d’Or This Year – Snubs Bayern Munich Teammate

Bayern Munich defender, Benjamin Pavard, has backed Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante, to win the Ballon d’Or this year.

Pavard believes Kante deserves to win the Ballon d’Or because the 30-year-old has ‘six lungs’.

The 25-year-old and Kante are both teammates with the France national team.

Recall that the Ballon d’ Or was not handed out in 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The French versatile defender was quoted by Eurosport as saying: “N’Golo is N’Golo. The guy has six lungs. He never stops.”
