Former England striker Michael Owen has claimed his historic Ballon d'Or victory was undervalued, according to an AFP report published on October 30, 2026. The 2001 winner suggested his achievement did not receive due recognition at the time.
In a separate development, current England captain Harry Kane has ended a 25-year drought for the national team, though specific details of the milestone were not immediately disclosed.
The report was filed by AFP correspondent Donny Afroni.
