Very, very small number: France Football on Kane-Mbappe Ballon d'Or vote margin

Vincent Garcia, chief editor of France Football which presents Ballon d'Or, revealed that points gap between Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe in Ballon d'Or 2026 was narrower than 41-point margin between Rodri and Vinicius Junior in 2024. "Kylian led the race for a long time...in the end, it was decided by a very, very small number of points," he said.
