Kane poised to beat Yamal and Mbappe to Ballon d’Or glory

Harry Kane is the favourite to win the 70th Ballon d’Or at Monday’s ceremony in London, the first time the award has been hosted in England. The Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals in 65 games last season, helping his club win the German league and cup, while England reached the World Cup semi-finals. Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe are also contenders: Yamal says he deserves the award despite a hamstring injury, while Mbappe topped the scoring charts in La Liga, the Champions League and the World Cup without winning those trophies. Journalists from 100 countries will vote to decide the winner.
