Harry Kane wins Ballon d'Or, first Englishman in 25 years
Harry Kane became the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or on Monday, scoring 73 goals in 65 games for club and country last season.
Harry Kane won the Ballon d'Or on Monday at a ceremony in London, becoming the first Englishman to win football's most prestigious individual award since Michael Owen in 2001. The Bayern Munich and England captain beat Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal to the prize after scoring 73 goals in 65 games for club and country during the season. Downing Street congratulated Kane on the "extraordinary achievement", with the prime minister's spokeswoman not ruling out a knighthood but declining to pre-empt the honours process. Kane's win also marked the first time a Bundesliga player had won the award since 1996.
