The English striker beat the Frenchman by a razor-thin margin of 28 points. It is one of the most tightly contested editions in the award's history. France Football on Friday revealed the full voting breakdown for the men’s Ballon d’Or, with Harry Kane edging out Kylian Mbappé by just 28 points. The England striker finished with 1,055 points, while the French star collected 1,027, coming agonizingly close to claiming the award himself.
