Harry Kane Wins 2026 Ballon d'Or, Receives Bayern Guard of Honour
Harry Kane, the England captain and Bayern Munich striker, won the 2026 Ballon d'Or, becoming the first English player since 2001 to receive the award. He scored 73 goals and provided eight assists across the 2025-26 season, helping Bayern win the Bundesliga, German Cup, and Super Cup. Kane received a guard of honour from his Bayern teammates and acknowledged calls for a knighthood, though he said he would feel strange being called 'Sir Harry.' Bayern recently defeated FC Magdeburg 6-1 in a German Cup match.
