However, Messi bounced back to win the accolade in 2019 beating Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk in the process.

Now that both Barcelona and Juventus did get up to the Champion League semi finals, Pogba has backed his compatriot Kante to scoop the award.

The Man United star told Eurosport France’s FC Team Stream Podcast:

“What I would like to say to the whole world is that the ‘NG’ we have seen in recent months has always been the same.

“We talk a lot about his performances but he has always been as good as ever.

“There was no Cristiano and Messi in the semi-final, so it’s good to see the performances of the midfielders or even the defenders.

“I said a long time ago that it would be appropriate, if Chelsea won, for him to win the Ballon d’Or. It would be deserved, too.”
