Emmanuel Petit says Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or hopes are over

Harry Kane Emmanuel Petit Ballon d’Or 2026 World Cup Champions League

Former France and Premier League star Emmanuel Petit criticised England striker Harry Kane’s chances of winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Petit claimed Kane “disappeared” in the decisive knockout stages of the Champions League and the 2026 World Cup, arguing that his prolific scoring record in the Bundesliga was insufficient without impact in the competition’s biggest games. He praised other performers, naming Lamine Yamal for his World Cup display, Rodri as the tournament’s best player, and Lionel Messi for his season with Inter Miami. Petit warned that the award should not become a commercial decision and emphasized the importance of winning major titles with club and country.

The comments followed England’s elimination from the World Cup, which further dented Kane’s individual award prospects.
