Ballon d'Or website glitch falsely names Kane, Mbappe, Yamal as winners

The official Ballon d'Or website briefly published three separate files prematurely declaring Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, and Lamine Yamal as winners of the award, before the files were quickly deleted. The error occurred ahead of the official ceremony in London, which marks the 70th anniversary of the award. France Football magazine has been revealing the rankings of players from positions 12 to 29, with the top spots and overall winner scheduled to be announced later Monday. The premature publication has created confusion and controversy, as the deleted files suggested three different winners. The official winner will be confirmed during the ceremony, which is being held in London instead of its traditional Paris location.
