From the source

Monday night, while Paris defeated Lyon 2-0, Harry Kane was crowned 2026 Ballon d'Or winner after a historical 2025-2026 campaign that saw him tally 73 goals and eight assists in 65 games for Bayern Munich and England, while winning the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and the German Super Cup.

The Englishman who succeeded to Ousmane Dembélé was also awarded the Gerd Muller Trophy rewarding the top goal scorer of the season. He narrowly beat former PSG player Kylian Mbappé and Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal.

This night that also saw Paris Saint-Germain crowned best men's club for the second consecutive after winning the Champions League for a second consecutive time also left many PSG fans with a bitter taste in their mouths when they saw the ranking of all their players nominated in the top 30.
