Paul Pogba, the talented midfielder from Juventus and former Manchester United star, recently gave his opinion on the best player in the world in an interview with YouTuber IShowSpeed. Pogba was asked to name the top player in the world, and after some thought, he initially chose Real Madrid and Brazil winger Vinicius Junior. However, he then reconsidered his answer and mentioned two other players who he believes should be in the conversation for the title.
The first player Pogba mentioned was Erling Haaland, the young striker who has been on a goal-scoring spree since joining Manchester City in 2022. In his first season at the club, Haaland helped his team secure a historic treble and has continued to impress with a staggering 104 goals in 113 appearances. The second player Pogba mentioned was Harry Kane, the 31-year-old striker who has been in excellent form for Bayern Munich, scoring 61 goals in just 59 games. Pogba also pointed out that Kane was on track to break Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goals record before leaving Tottenham last year.
Despite Kane's underwhelming performance at Euro 2024, Pogba still believes he is one of the best players in the world. Kane, who has scored over 400 goals for club and country, is also England's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Pogba's former teammate Wayne Rooney last year. Pogba praised Kane's goal-scoring abilities and recognized him as one of the best players in the world.
Pogba also had high praise for Lamine Yama, the 17-year-old Spanish forward who won the Kopa Trophy for the best performing player under the age of 21 at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Pogba believes Yama is the best young player in the world, citing his impressive performances at the Euros and his potential to win the Champions League this year. He also playfully mentioned that Yama still has homework to do at such a young age.
At the Ballon d'Or ceremony, Pogba's teammate Rodri was named the best men's player in the world. Pogba congratulated him and acknowledged that it was a special day for Spanish football and the midfielder position. He also mentioned other Spanish players who he believes deserved the award in the past, like Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez.
Kane, who was also at the ceremony, shared the Gerd Muller Trophy with Kylian Mbappe for scoring the most goals in the year. He thanked his club Bayern Munich and his teammates for their support, and also expressed his gratitude for receiving the award from club legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
Despite concerns about his form during Euro 2024, Kane has bounced back this season with 17 goals in 14 games and three hat-tricks. His goals have helped Bayern Munich secure a three-point lead at the top of the table, as new manager Vincent Kompany aims to win the Bundesliga in his first season.
