Simply the Best’—Bayern Munich Unites Behind Harry Kane for Ballon d’Or Push
Bayern Munich has rallied entirely behind star striker Harry Kane in his campaign to claim the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Following an unprecedented 61-goal individual campaign, the German giant is lobbying to bring the prestigious honor back to Munich for the first time in over four decades.
Internal Backing and Teammate Praise
Kane’s extraordinary year has earned unanimous support across the squad. Teammate Michael Olise—who posted an impressive season himself with 25 goals and 28 assists and earned a nomination on the 30-man shortlist—brushed aside any debate regarding the top contender, declaring: “Harry is simply the best.”
Kane’s Season by the Numbers
Kane’s campaign broke individual records across Europe:
61 Total Goals: Reached in just 51 appearances in all competitions for Bayern.
European Golden Shoe: Claimed top scorer honors across Europe with 36 Bundesliga goals.
DFB-Pokal & Champions League Impact: Headline performances throughout domestic and continental competitions.
With Bayern fully campaigning on his behalf, Kane stands as one of the leading candidates heading into the award ceremony.
