What happened. Harry Kane said he would be "very proud" to win the Ballon d'Or after a stunning 2025/26 season in which he scored 63 goals for Bayern Munich and 10 for England. Speaking at an England press conference, he called this his best chance to win the award.

Kane scored 73 goals in total for Bayern and England last season.
No Bundesliga player has won the Ballon d'Or since Matthias Sammer in 1996.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge backed Kane, noting only Lionel Messi has scored more in a single year this century.

“I would be very proud to win this title. Now, everything depends on the opinions of others.”
— Harry Kane

Kane is focused on England's Nations League clash with Spain, with the Ballon d'Or outcome resting on voters' opinions.
