Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has had his say on Harry Kane’s triumph at the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony, labelling his numbers ‘frightening’ and claiming players who don’t like to make a big fuss of themselves should be the ones recognised: ‘That’s how it should be’.

England international Kane was crowned the winner of the Ballon d’Or award at the 2026 ceremony in London on Monday evening, fending off competition from the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Lionel Messi.

Reactions and messages of congratulations have been flooding in since the award was presented on Monday evening, and even Juventus head coach Spalletti was asked for his thoughts on Kane’s victory during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
