Harry Kane: From Trophy Heartbreaks to Ballon d'Or Glory

moneycontrol.com —

Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d’Or on Monday, becoming the first Englishman since Michael Owen in 2001 to claim the award after a standout season with Bayern Munich and England. Kane scored 73 goals in 65 appearances for club and country, helping Bayern win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double and leading England to third place at the World Cup. His first season in Germany ended trophyless, but he rebounded decisively this year. The award follows years of personal milestones at Tottenham and England without major silverware, including losses in the 2019 Champions League final and two European Championship finals. Kane’s move to Bayern in 2023 was aimed at ending that drought.
