Kane's Ballon d'Or Win Strengthens Bayern's Case for Olise

sport1.de (German) —

Harry Kane won the Ballon d'Or on Monday, ending FC Bayern Munich's 45-year drought since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's 1981 victory. The award could boost Bayern's appeal in recruiting international stars. Kane beat Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal in London, scoring 73 goals for club and country. Sport1 chief reporter Stefan Kumberger said the win counters claims that the Bundesliga is a "farmers' league" and proves individual honors are achievable at Bayern. Bayern winger Michael Olise, who finished ninth at the ceremony, may now see Munich as a viable path to future Ballon d'Or success. Kane serves as a direct role model within the team.
