Ballon d’Or: Harry Kane’s crowning moment

Harry Kane has won the Ballon d’Or, becoming the first Englishman to receive the award since Michael Owen in 2001. The Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals for club and country last season and became the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals. Despite scoring records for Tottenham, England and in the Champions League, his team honours since joining Bayern in 2023 have been limited to German domestic titles. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany and teammate Jonathan Tah praised his game intelligence, passing and relentless work ethic.
