Kane, a Ballon d'Or 2026 with a Spanish flavour

Harry Kane is said to be the winner of the 2026 Ballon d'Or, an edition marked by a strong Spanish influence. According to Mundo Deportivo, Kane's title would have a Spanish flavour. El País also mentions a most Spanish Ballon d'Or for the striker.

According to AS, Kane would have won the award. The three Spanish media outlets agree on the winner's name, but no official statement has been published yet.

This edition of the Ballon d'Or would therefore remain linked to Spain, even if the trophy were to go to a player playing outside La Liga.
