Petit Rules Out Harry Kane for 2026 Ballon d'Or Despite 73 Goals
Emmanuel Petit has ruled out Harry Kane as a likely winner of the 2026 Ballon d’Or, despite the Bayern Munich striker scoring 73 goals for club and country. The former France international said Kane’s performances in the Champions League and for England in major matches could count against him. Petit believes other players are ahead in the race, including Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Lionel Messi. Kane did not win the Champions League or the World Cup, but he remains among the players being discussed for football’s top individual honour. The final winner will be announced at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in October.
