England legends Gary Lineker and Harry Kane surprised supporters by claiming on the red carpet at the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony that they had never met in person before. Speaking to British GQ at the London Palladium, both former Tottenham strikers insisted they had only exchanged messages previously. The pair later caught up at the event, sharing a hug and chatting.

Kane attended the ceremony after becoming the first English player to win the men's Ballon d'Or award since Michael Owen in 2001.
