Each remarkable player netted an impressive 52 goals across all competitions in the previous season, showcasing their extraordinary talents on the pitch.
Kane, who had a stellar first season with Bayern Munich, accepted the award solo due to Mbappe’s absence from the ceremony. “I’m honored to receive this award,” he expressed with gratitude. “Thank you to Bayern Munich, my staff, and teammates for their incredible support.” Despite finishing 10th in the Ballon d’Or men’s award standings, Kane’s prolific scoring earned him well-deserved recognition alongside one of football’s biggest stars.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid had their own achievements to celebrate, even amidst a notable absence from the awards ceremony. The club and its coach, Carlo Ancelotti, were absent but still took home significant honors. Ancelotti was awarded the inaugural Johan Cruyff Trophy for Best Coach, a testament to his exceptional leadership as Real Madrid triumphed in La Liga by a commanding 10 points, in addition to winning the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League title.
The lack of representation at the event was a striking aspect of the evening, as Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony, which overshadowed their accolades. Despite this, seven of their players were shortlisted for the men’s Ballon d’Or, highlighting the club’s strong performance over the season.
However, the night was marked by Kane and Mbappe’s shared glory in goalscoring, while Real Madrid’s notable achievements were framed within the context of their controversial absence, leaving a significant impact on the evening’s proceedings.
