Kane y el Balón de Oro más español
El delantero británico alza en Londres el galardón que reconoce al mejor jugador del fútbol mundial ante Mbappé y Lamine Yamal en una noche rendida al fútbol del Barcelona y de la selección de Luis de la Fuente
Alexia Putellas reclaimed her throne in London, and the crown remains in Spain. After three consecutive years of Aitana Bonmatí being the world's best, Putellas secured her third Balón de Oro, marking six consecutive titles for Spanish women's football. At the 70th anniversary gala of France Football, she dominated in both Castilian and Catalan.
However, she missed out on a historic double: in London, goals trumped titles. Harry Kane outperformed Lamine Yamal in the men's category. The English striker's 73 goals, including semifinal appearances in the World Cup and Champions League, outshone Lamine's world title. "It's a pleasure to be here again," Alexia reflected, grateful for the recognition.
"Thank you to those who believe I deserve this award." As she now plays for London City Lionesses, she remains connected to her roots at Barcelona: "Fourteen years, and many more to come." Kane, at 33, reflected on the significance of the award: "France Football made this year the best of my career. It's very special, especially being in London."
