🗞️ The Ballon d’Or front pages: Alexia and Kane reign supreme

The sports press has one clear focus after the Ballon d’Or, neatly summed up by AS in two punchy lines: “Kane wins and Spain sweeps the board”.

Harry Kane receives his first Ballon d’Or ahead of Mbappé and Lamine, but Spanish football takes home almost all the remaining awards.

The Daily Telegraph leads with “Kane’s crowning glory” and celebrates the striker ending England’s 25-year wait since Michael Owen.

L’Équipe brings the two stars together on its front page under the headline “King Kane & Queen Putellas”. Alexia wins her third Ballon d’Or, drawing level with Bonmatí. Elite company.

Marca calls it “The golden age” and counts seven individual awards for Spanish football, while Mundo Deportivo opts for “Barça sweeps the board”.

De la Fuente was named best coach, Unai Simón and Cata Coll best goalkeepers, and Lamine Yamal and Vicky López best young players. Pere Romeu wins the women’s coaching award, and Barça takes best club. Sport calls it a 'Blaugrana party'
