To me, the Ballon d'Or winner has always meant that, currently, they're the best player in the world. If the best player in the world is Harry Kane, that's mental.
Yes, he scores a lot of goals (a shitload of them were penalties; 34 in the last 2.5 seasons) but I just can't have it that he's THE pinnacle of football. That he's THE ABSOLUTE BEST in the world.
sauceless statpadding striker who bottled the world cup over both the most electrifying player in the world today and also the top scorer in every competition he played.
Kane’s great, but come on…
they’ll find some ridiculous reason to deny him then as well, just like last year, just like this year. they’re not gonna allow Lamine Yamal take Ronaldo’s record as the youngest winner of the #Ballondor
the Aggro Crowd Index™️ never fails!
Harry Kane wins the #BallonDor for bottling the two biggest games of his life at the World Cup and statpadding against Heidenheim 😂
a complete and utter farce.
Lamine Yamal getting booed when his highlights clip showed up. good lord what is wrong with the English crowd tonight? 😂
Patri snubbed for one of her team-mates for the second straight year, but can’t argue that Alexia isn’t an absolute superstar and a worthy winner of the #BallondOr

Deserved.
VICKY LOPEZ IS THE 2026 WOMEN’S YOUNG TALENT OF THE YEAR!

Back-to-back winner.
#ballondor
Lamine Yamal spending his entire speech saying Pau Cubarsi should have won the award instead of him is just wonderful.
they paint him as an egomaniac but he’s not at all like that. a great team-mate!
