Thomas Tuchel Predicts Harry Kane Will Win 2026 Ballon d’Or
England national team manager Thomas Tuchel believes that striker Harry Kane will surpass Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona in the race for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. The official award ceremony is scheduled to take place on October 26 in London.
“Kane deserves this award. After this season—yes,” Tuchel told ITV. “Over seventy goals, three titles with Bayern, semifinals of the World Cup and the Champions League.
He keeps improving. I think he has added physical strength to his game. He is committed to high pressing and fully engaged in every aspect of the match. Whether it’s building attacks from deep, finishing attacks, developing play in the central zone, or defending. He is simply the ideal striker.”
