RARE PHOTOS: Kevin de bruyne sent ballon d or message by vincent kompany ahead of world cup | Rare Historical Photos

Vincent Kompany De Bruyne Kevin De Bruyne Belgium World Cup Kylian Mbappe Cristiano Ronaldo Erling Haaland Lionel Messi Roberto Martinez

Vincent Kompany has urged Kevin De Bruyne to use the World Cup as a stage to win the Ballon d’Or.

Kompany, a former team-mate of De Bruyne’s for both Belgium and Manchester City, is backing the midfielder to be a star of the tournament. He believes the 29-year-old can help Belgium’s Golden Generation finally realise it’s full potential.

And Kompany also hopes that dream scenario would catapult De Bruyne to the Ballon d’Or - before Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe turn the fight for the title as Europe’s best footballer into the same kind of annual two-man shoot-out that has seen Cristiano Ronaldo battle Lionel Messi for the prize.
