According to Garcia, Kane and Mbappé were the two closest rivals in a race decided by a very small margin. He said Mbappé led for a long time before Kane came back into contention.

The voting lasted about a month, with the pair well clear of the rest of the field. However, neither player pulled away convincingly until very late. Garcia did not disclose the exact points difference between the two stars.

Lamine Yamal’s reaction goes viral

According to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh, Lamine Yamal’s reaction to losing the award went viral on social media.

Photos showed the 19-year-old seated in a black suit, looking dejected as the award went to Kane. Yamal has not publicly addressed how he felt at that moment.

Many fans expressed sympathy for the Barcelona star, while others joked about the viral photos.
