Vincent Kompany supports Harry Kane and Michael Olise for Ballon d'Or

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has publicly backed players Harry Kane and Michael Olise for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. Speaking after a 5-0 Champions League victory against Bodø/Glimt, Kompany acknowledged his perspective is biased toward his own team members. He highlighted the collective attacking output of the Bayern Munich squad, which recorded 182 goals throughout the previous season. While Kompany noted that voters often prioritize Champions League winners when evaluating candidates for the award, he argued that the offensive contributions of his players deserve significant consideration. The list of 30 nominees for the ceremony includes four Bayern Munich representatives: Luis Díaz, Dayot Upamecano, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane. The winner of the individual award will be announced on October 26, 2026.
