Kane and Putellas win Ballon d'Or awards

cbc.ca —

Harry Kane became the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d’Or on Monday, while Spain’s Alexia Putellas claimed her record-equaling third women’s title. Kane scored 73 goals for club and country last season, leading Bayern Munich to a Bundesliga and German Cup double and captaining England to a third-place World Cup finish. The 33-year-old beat Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Rodri, and Lionel Messi in the voting. Putellas won the women’s award after leading Barcelona to multiple trophies, including the Women’s Champions League, and helping Spain win the Women’s Nations League. She ended teammate Aitana Bonmati’s three-year reign, having previously won in 2021 and 2022.
