Paul Robinson calls it a travesty if Harry Kane misses Ballon d'Or

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson argued that Harry Kane has made a compelling case for the Ballon d'Or, stating that if he is overlooked, it would be a 'travesty.' Kane scored 73 goals in 65 matches last season and won the European Golden Shoe. He also secured his third consecutive Bundesliga top-scorer award with 36 goals for Bayern Munich. As of October 6, 2026, Kane continued his impressive form, scoring against Czechia, bringing his total to 13 goals for England this year. The debate around the Ballon d'Or now centers on whether anyone has done enough to surpass his achievements.
