An important member of the France team votes for a player other than Kylian Mbappé in the race for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.

Like Real Madrid, which decided to publicly campaign in favor of Kylian Mbappé in the race for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, Bayern Munich also launched its propaganda. While the German champions have two players who can legitimately claim the supreme individual prize, Michael Olise and Harry Kane, they have decided to bet everything on the 33-year-old English striker.

On its social networks, the Bavarian club published a video in which several players plead in favor of the former Tottenham striker. “If our team could vote, the result would be clear: Harry Kane”we can read in the caption of the post.

Thus, Michael Olise, who could have supported a compatriot, like Mbappé or Dembélé, believes that Harry Kane deserves this Ballon d’Or. Quite simply “because he was the best player last season. »

“He had an incredible season”

“He does everything: score, deliver assists, defend… He’s one of the best scorers on the planet”Luis Diaz advances for his part. “He’s a real team player. He scored 70 goals, but beyond that, he is essential for the team” recalls Joshua Kimmich.

“He had an incredible season. Not just as a striker, but also helping the team in all areas,” explains Serge Gnabry. While Jonathan Tah judges that his partner must be sacred “for everything he accomplished: the goals, the assists, but also his way of playing. » As a reminder, the Ballon d’Or will be awarded on October 26, in London.
