Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d’Or this Monday evening, winning the first major individual trophy of his career during the 70th ceremony organized in London. The English striker is ahead of Kylian Mbappé, second, and Lamine Yamal, third. Title holder after his coronation in 2025, Ousmane Dembélé finished in seventh place. A fall in the standings which has obviously not affected the sportsmanship of the Paris Saint-Germain striker.

The double European champion with PSG was indeed keen to congratulate his successor on social networks. In a story published after the ceremony, Dembélé sent a simple message to the Bayern Munich striker: “Congratulations Harry, it’s well deserved.”. An elegant reaction which shows his respect for Kane, now at the top of individual football after being rewarded for his last season.
