Harry Kane made history with his Ballon d’Or victory. On Monday evening, the English national team player was named the world’s best soccer player for the first time, bringing Bayern Munich a historic triumph. Now, the 33-year-old has addressed the fans of the German record champions directly in an emotional video message. In it, Kane made it clear that he by no means views the prestigious award as a personal triumph.
In the video, the Bayern striker proudly displays the Golden Ball and expresses his heartfelt thanks to the fans for their support.
Particularly noteworthy: Kane emphasizes that, in his view, the award belongs to the entire FC Bayern. In doing so, the Englishman pays tribute not only to his teammates and the coaching staff, but above all to the fans of the record champions.
“I know it belongs to FC Bayern.”
“I just want to thank all of you for your support,” Kane said at the beginning of his video message.
The striker particularly highlighted the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena and the support of the Bayern fans. “Your presence and the energy at every game—without that, this would have been 100% impossible,” the Englishman emphasized.
For Kane, it’s clear that winning the Ballon d’Or was only possible thanks to the collective effort of the entire club. “I may be holding it in my hands, but I know it belongs to FC Bayern, to all the fans, my entire team, the coaching staff, and everyone involved.”
With these words, the 33-year-old once again underscores his close connection to the German record champions.
Kane transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Munich in the summer of 2023 to finally win major titles. With the Ballon d’Or, he has now also received the highest individual honor in world soccer.

Bayern fans can apparently look forward to a special moment very soon.
In his video message, Kane announced his intention to celebrate the Golden Ball together with the fans. “I can’t wait to share all of this with you. It’s going to be something very special to present it,” the forward explained.
However, Kane did not specify a date for the announced presentation.
It was already clear before the DFB Cup match against 1. FC Magdeburg that the Munich club wanted to properly honor this historic achievement.
As they entered the Allianz Arena, the Bayern stars formed a guard of honor for their newly crowned Ballon d’Or winner.
For Kane, the triumph is also a milestone in the history of the record-holding champions. The last time a Bayern player won the Ballon d’Or was Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981. “It’s a great achievement that we should all be truly proud of—that we have the Ballon d’Or here in Munich,” Kane said in his message.
In closing, the Englishman once again thanked the fans and emphasized how much he is looking forward to the moments they will share in the future.
For Kane, one thing is clear: The Ballon d’Or is not just a personal honor, but a success he wants to share with the entire FC Bayern family.
