Guti reveals conspiracy theory as Kane’s Ballon d’Or success falls flat in Spain

Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti has suggested a conspiracy theory following Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or in London. Guti argued that holding the 70th-anniversary ceremony in London favored the English striker, claiming that competitors Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe were more deserving. Kane won the prestigious award after scoring 73 goals across club and international competitions, helping Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga and England reach the World Cup semifinals.

Additional criticism came from former Arsenal player Samir Nasri, who argued Kane lacked decisive moments in major games, as well as Yamal's uncle Abdul. However, Real Madrid TV congratulated Kane, calling his win deserved, while Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl praised the striker as a leader and a vital asset ahead of his trophy presentation against Magdeburg.
