Mbappé second in Ballon d'Or, Bellingham 11th as Kane wins

sports.yahoo.com —

Kylian Mbappé finished second in the 70th Ballon d’Or, with Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane winning the award in London. Mbappé was the only Real Madrid player in the top 10. Jude Bellingham placed 11th, while Vinícius Júnior came 17th, one spot ahead of Marc Cucurella. These four were Madrid’s only ranked players, marking the club’s first ceremony appearance since 2023. Madrid had boycotted the 2024 event after Vinícius Jr. was overlooked for Rodri, and stayed away in 2025 when Ousmane Dembele won. Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal finished third this year.
