Tuchel: Harry Kane is my Ballon d'Or winner this year

Thomas Tuchel has named Harry Kane as his choice for the 2025/26 Ballon d'Or. This was stated by the coach of the England national team in an interview with ITV Sport. "Yes. After this season, yes. Over 70 goals, three trophies with Bayern, semi-finals of the World Cup and the Champions League," Tuchel said. In the 2025/26 season, Kane scored 73 goals for Bayern and the England national team, and together with the Munich club won the Bundesliga, the German Cup and the German Super Cup. The striker also helped the Englishmen reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. Tuchel singled out Kane's versatility and his contribution to the team's game not only in attack. "He's getting better and better. I think he's added physicality to his game. He's fully committed to high pressing and is involved in every phase of the match - building attacks, finishing, creating chances and even defending. It's the complete package," the coach added. The winner of the Golden Ball will be announced on October 26.
