Ballon d'Or website leaks 3 'winners' in major blunder hours before announcement

The Ballon d'Or ceremony was hit by a major blunder after the award's official website mistakenly published three articles naming Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal as winners hours before the announcement. The pages were later removed, and organisers launched an investigation into the mistake. Harry Kane eventually won the Ballon d'Or 2026.
