By winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or, Harry Kane has definitively been crowned the world’s best soccer player. The FC Bayern striker prevailed over Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal on Monday evening in London.
Shortly after his historic triumph, the 33-year-old took to Instagram—with a remarkable message that could certainly be interpreted as a subtle dig at his rivals.
While other stars have publicly campaigned for their Ballon d’Or nominations in recent months, Kane has been conspicuously low-key. The Englishman focused on his performances with Bayern Munich and largely refrained from promoting himself.
