Harry Kane wins 2025 Ballon d'Or in London as fans breach security

dailystar.co.uk —

Harry Kane won the 2025 Ballon d'Or in London, becoming the first English winner in 25 years, as fans broke through security barriers at the ceremony. The event, held in London for the first time in its 70-year history as a tribute to inaugural winner Sir Stanley Matthews, saw supporters force past barriers on the red carpet before police restored calm. Kane, 33, earned the award after scoring 61 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern Munich, helping them win the Bundesliga and German cup, plus six goals at the World Cup. Barcelona's Lamine Yamal made history as the first recipient of the Kopa Trophy for the world's best under-21 player. It remains unknown whether any arrests were made during the barrier breach.
