Bayern Munich Celebrates Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or Win

Bayern Munich celebrated Harry Kane's historic triumph at the 2026 Ballon d’Or awards by giving him a guard of honour at their training ground in Munich on Tuesday, October 27. The 33-year-old striker was recognized as the best men’s footballer in the world, receiving a warm welcome from teammates, club officials, and supporters after the award ceremony held at the London Palladium on October 26.

Kane's victory ended a 25-year wait for England to have another male recipient of the award and marked the first time in 45 years that a Bayern Munich player has won the men’s Ballon d’Or, following Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's wins in 1980 and 1981. The club's president, Herbert Hainer, and chief executive, Jan-Christian Dreesen, joined in the celebrations, which included illuminating the Allianz Arena in gold and displaying Kane's name on the stadium.

Kane scored 61 goals in 51 appearances during the 2025/26 season, contributing significantly to Bayern's league and domestic cup double.
