England captain Harry Kane has reflected on the moment he was announced as the Ballon d'Or winner, according to a report from Yahoo Sports. The Bayern Munich striker received football's most prestigious individual award during a ceremony on October 31, 2026.
Kane's recognition marks the first time an English player has won the Ballon d'Or since Michael Owen in 2001. The 33-year-old forward has been in exceptional form for both club and country, leading Bayern Munich to domestic and European success while captaining England to major tournament glory.
Photographs from the event show Kane accepting the award from UEFA officials, with the ceremony captured by photographer Jeff Spicer for Getty Images.
