Ballon d’Or: Harry Kane wins the Gerd Müller Trophy!

This is the only trophy in this Ballon d’Or ceremony whose winner is already known in advance. This Monday evening, the Gerd Müller 2026 trophy, rewarding the top scorer of the previous season for club and country, was awarded to Harry Kane during the 70th France Football Ballon d’Or ceremony.

The Bayern Munich striker scored 61 goals with the Munich club during the 2025/2026 financial year, including 36 in 31 Bundesliga matches and 14 in 13 Champions League matches. With the English selection, the top scorer in the history of the Three Lions scored 12 goals, including seven in nine matches during the last World Cup. Exceptional statistics for the former Tottenham player, who could leave the London Palladium with another trophy: the Ballon d’Or.
