Ballon d'Or 'winners' published by mistake hours before men's award
LONDON (AP) — Call it an own goal.
Just three hours before the start of the event, on the official Ballon d'Or website appeared an article in which Harry Kane was presented as the great winner.
The Ballon d’Or gala is taking place today. The official website incorrectly announced in advance that three different players would win.
In London and not in Paris, at the London Palladium Theatre, France Football will announce the successor to Ousmane Dembélé as the best player in the world. Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal and Mbappé are the favorites.
The Ballon d'Or made a major blunder. On its website, it presented three different winners of the award. According to the Daily Mail, there is chaos in the organization after the mistake.
