  "summary": "Harry Kane extended his scoring streak by netting a penalty against Arsenal in the 61st minute following a handball by Arsenal's Timber. According to Yahoo Sports, this goal marks Kane's tenth consecutive Champions League game with a score, a feat surpassed only by Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored in eleven consecutive matches.\n\nReal Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has commented on the 2026 Ballon d'Or debate ahead of the award ceremony in London. Courtois stated to DAZN that while Kylian Mbappe was the best individual player of the year, he noted the Frenchman did not win any trophies. Courtois also criticized Lamine Yamal, suggesting the Barcelona player had a worse World Cup than Mbappe despite Yamal winning both the league and the World Cup title.",
