Harry Kane Crowned Ballon d'Or Winner, Ending 25-Year English Drought; Alexia Putellas Takes Women's Prize
Harry Kane has been crowned the Ballon d'Or winner, becoming the first Englishman to claim football's most prestigious individual honour since Michael Owen in 2001. The award marks a defining moment in Kane's career and a notable shift in the global recognition of English football talent, while Spain's Alexia Putellas secured the women's award in a separate but equally significant triumph.
