The 33-year-old Bayern Munich striker is the fifth Englishman to win in total, with Stanley Matthews (1956), Bobby Charlton (1966) and Kevin Keegan (1978 and 1979) the others.
（暂无翻译）
Denis Law of Scotland (1964) and Northern Ireland's George Best (1968) are the other winners from the United Kingdom.

Real Madrid and France forward Kylian Mbappe finished second, while Barcelona and Spain attacker Lamine Yamal completed the top three.

"Not many people would have thought it, and maybe even I wouldn't have thought I'd be this far," Kane told Dazn.
（暂无翻译）
"I had to go through many ups and downs, especially early in my career.
（暂无翻译）
I was never the person that people thought was going to be the superstar like some of the guys now. "I had to bide my time and work hard, a lot of times it was me against my own mind and I had to come through it, I had to show self-belief, determination.

"I think that grounded me even when I did make it at the highest level to keep improving and keep getting better."
（暂无翻译）
England manager Thomas Tuchel said he was "delighted" to see Kane win the award as he hailed the forward's success as a "huge honour".
（暂无翻译）
Prince William, meanwhile, said the former Tottenham Hotspur player was a "brilliant captain" and "remarkable player".
（暂无翻译）
Kane scored 61 goals in 51 club matches last season, the most a Bayern player has ever struck in one campaign.
（暂无翻译）
Including England matches, it was 73 goals - plus eight assists - in 65 matches. Only one player at a club in Europe's top five leagues has ever scored more goals in a season.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
But he wins it despite not lifting either of football's biggest prizes last season, having lost in both the World Cup and Champions League semi-finals.
（暂无翻译）
Remarkably the Three Lions captain becomes the first Bayern player to win the Ballon d'Or since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981.
（暂无翻译）
To celebrate Kane's success, the Wembley arches were lit up in gold on Monday night.

BBC Sport looks at why Kane won it and how unusual it is to do so without securing one of those major trophies. 'Anything is possible' - Kane wins Ballon d'Or England's greatest international?
（暂无翻译）
Kane is now a serious contender Putellas wins record-equalling third Ballon d'Or In terms of trophies, Kane may have 'only' lifted the German double last season.
（暂无翻译）
But that more than doubled his career trophy total - having also won the Bundesliga the season before.
（暂无翻译）
But in terms of individual output Kane - whose previous best Ballon d'Or finish was 10th - was unmatched last season. His 61 goals in all competitions for Bayern was 19 more than any other player in Europe's top five leagues managed.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
In fact it was the most anyone has recorded since Cristiano Ronaldo also notched 61 for Real Madrid 11 years ago.
（暂无翻译）
He was the Bundesliga's top scorer with 36 goals - 17 clear of anyone else.
（暂无翻译）
In the Champions League he scored 14 for the beaten semi-finalists.
（暂无翻译）
In the German Cup he scored 10 goals, including a hat-trick in the 3-0 win over Stuttgart in the final, and he also netted once in the German Super Cup.
（暂无翻译）
No player has ever scored so many goals in a season for Bayern, a club who have had legendary goalscorers like Gerd Muller, Rummenigge and more recently Robert Lewandowski in their ranks.
（暂无翻译）
Kane's 12 goals for England last season - including six at the World Cup - take him up to a total of 73.
（暂无翻译）
Only one player in history from Europe's top leagues has scored more in a season, Lionel Messi's 82 for Barcelona and Argentina in 2011-12. Next on the list are Muller (72 in 1972-73), Cristiano Ronaldo (66 in both 2011-12 and 2014-15), former Brazil striker Ronaldo (66 in 1996-97), Erling Haaland (64 in 2022-23) and Luis Suarez (64 in 2015-16).

Former England striker Alan Shearer recently told BBC Sport: "The winner of the Ballon d'Or should be Harry Kane.
（暂无翻译）
"His numbers for the last 12 to 18 months have been absolutely sensational for Bayern and for England.
（暂无翻译）
For that reason, he should get it."
（暂无翻译）
Another ex-Three Lions player Danny Murphy added: "His goalscoring has been relentless, brilliant.
（暂无翻译）
He's had one of the best seasons of his career and it'll be a great reward for him if he gets the trophy.
（暂无翻译）
"He's been brilliant at Bayern Munich since he's been there, adapted really well and he's been the best centre forward in the world for the last 12 months."

The Ballon d'Or was only available to European players from its formation in 1956 until 1995 when it was opened up to everyone. Since then in four of the seven World Cup years, the Ballon d'Or has been awarded to a world champion - including Messi in 2023 (as the 2022 World Cup was in the winter).
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
However, that was the first time since 2006 it had happened, with Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric all winning since then despite not winning the World Cup that year. This is only the fifth time in the past 20 years that the Ballon d'Or has not gone to a player who has won either the World Cup, the Champions League or a European Championship/Copa America - with Kane joining Messi (three times) and Ronaldo.

Lamine Yamal, who won the World Cup with Spain, had been one of the favourites but lost out to Kane.
（暂无翻译）
Last year, winning the Champions League helped PSG and France's Ousmane Dembele to the crown.
（暂无翻译）
Kane may have just won the Ballon d'Or but some are already wondering if he is in a good place to retain it next year.
（暂无翻译）
The striker has scored 10 goals in his opening 12 games for Bayern this season.
（暂无翻译）
Throw in six goals in four Nations League games for England and that is a total of 16 in 16 matches so far.
（暂无翻译）
Bayern are unbeaten in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season.
（暂无翻译）
If they were to win a Treble - and Kane keeps scoring at about a goal a game - it would be tough to look past him, especially in a season with no World Cup, European Championship or Copa America.
（暂无翻译）
The last player other than Messi or Ronaldo to win it two years in a row was Marco van Basten in 1988 and 1989.
（暂无翻译）
However, Lamine Yamal will be hoping to make it to the top, having now finished second and third over the past two years.
（暂无翻译）
He has started the season in electric form, with 10 goals and 10 assists in 13 games for Barcelona in La Liga and the Champions League.
（暂无翻译）
And Barca are currently favourites to win the Champions League, which could ultimately end up being a deciding factor.
（暂无翻译）
He would be the youngest player to win the Ballon d'Or - aged 20 - if he does lift it next year.
（暂无翻译）
Real Madrid's Mbappe will also fancy his chances of winning for the first time, with 14 goals in 13 appearances for club and country.
（暂无翻译）
The youngest winner remains Brazilian Ronaldo, who was 21 when he won in 1997.
（暂无翻译）
Arsenal, who have never had a Ballon d'Or winner, and Paris St-Germain are two of the other frontrunners to win the Champions League. 73 goals from dropping deep - we ask Kane to break down how he did it Kane prematurely announced as Ballon d'Or winner - but he wasn't only one
