Good morning everyone – I had missed the Ballon d’or ceremonies yesterday. Anyone know who won? Ah – maybe this tweet will answer it: Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d’or! And about damn time.

From the source

I had missed the Ballon d’or ceremonies yesterday. Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d’or! Menno covered this in the actual post yesterday, but the party is going to continue today because Harry Kane fully deserves this honour.

And the trophy deserves him. > ”I want to say thank you to Tottenham Hotspur. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Tottenham.

> “I was there from when I was 11 and the club and all the coaches helped me to live my dreams and all of those memories and those ups and downs have led me to where I am today.”
