Paul Pugba thinks N'Golo Kante would be a worthy winner of Golden Ball after leading Chelsea to the Champions League.

Kante was the driving force behind Chelsea's European glory and was appointed the man of the match in both semifinal matches against Real Madrid, as well as the 1-0 final victory over Manchester City.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the award that honours the best player in world football in recent times, winning 11 of the past 12 Golden Balls.

However, with neither the semifinal achievement of the Champions League, Pogba United Manchester midfielder thinks they don't have such a strong claim to be in the race.
