England captain Harry Kane has clarified that a recent social media post about winning the Ballon d'Or was not directed at Barcelona's Lamine Yamal or Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé.
The Bayern Munich striker addressed speculation surrounding his tweet, stating it was not a response to the young stars' performances or their own Ballon d'Or aspirations.
Kane's comments came on Friday, October 30, 2026, as the Ballon d'Or award cycle continues to generate discussion among football's elite.
