Harry Kane has become the first Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or in 25 years, after Michael Owen previously held the title in 2001. The 33-year-old Bayern Munich striker finished a record-breaking season with 73 goals for club and country to win the award — football's highest honour — on Monday (Oct 26), where he faced stiff competition from Spanish forward Lamine Yamal and French football star Kylian Mbappe.
