Kane leads Ballon d'Or race ahead of Yamal and Mbappe in London

bangkokpost.com —

Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or on Monday in London, which would make him England's first winner in 25 years, but faces competition from Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe. Kane scored 73 goals in 65 games last season, helping Bayern Munich win a league and cup double, though semi-final exits in the Champions League and World Cup cast doubt on his triumph. Alexia Putellas leads the women's race. The ceremony is held in London for the first time, 70 years after Stanley Matthews won the inaugural award. Yamal believes he deserves it, while Mbappe cites his record 22 World Cup goals despite lacking team trophies.
