Kane is present in London for the Ballon d'Or and Messi is not expected

To mark the 70th anniversary (1956) in which Stanley Matthews was awarded as the first-ever Ballon d'Or, the ceremony will take place in London and not, as is usually the case, in Paris. There, in 1993, a Harry Kane was born who has made his presence felt... in the hope of being rewarded tonight. Winner of "MARCA's 100 of 2026", confidence is sky-high both in the English striker's inner circle and within the Bayern Munich delegation. After yesterday afternoon's match against Freiburg, which ended in victory for the Bavarian side, he is already in London accompanied by his entire entourage... and they have set up a headquarters near the Palladium Theatre, where the ceremony will take place. The truth is that it is the most inscrutable Ballon d'Or in recent memory.
