Harry Kane Becomes First Englishman in 25 Years to Win the Ballon d’Or
Kane beat Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal after a 64-goal season and Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title run, organisers said.
- On Monday, Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d'Or at a ceremony in London, becoming the first Englishman to claim football's most prestigious individual trophy in 25 years.
- Kane secured the prize following a prolific 2025/26 season, scoring 73 goals including 36 in 31 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich, while leading England to a third-place World Cup finish.
- The Bayern Munich striker defeated runner-up Kylian Mbappe and third-placed Lamine Yamal, voted by an international panel managed by France Football, ending a 25-year English drought since Michael Owen.
- At The London Palladium ceremony, Kane collected the Gerd Muller Award for Forward of the Year, while Yamal secured the Kopa Trophy for the third consecutive year.
- This win marks a shift in football's awards landscape following the dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, positioning the 33-year-old Kane as the standard-bearer for a new, more versatile era of strikers.
