Ballon d'Or 2026: Constantin Eckner puts Harry Kane ahead

Football pundit and commentator Constantin Eckner says Harry Kane is ahead of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal in the race for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. He believes the award could be Kane’s time and calls the Bayern Munich striker the safer pick. Kane scored more than 70 goals for club and country last season, won the Bundesliga and claimed the European Golden Boot. He also led England to a bronze medal at the World Cup.
