Kane celebrates Ballon d'Or modestly with Bayern supporters

Kane was honoured before Bayern's DFB-Pokal tie but kept the celebration understated, thanking supporters in a video message without displaying the trophy.

Harry Kane received a low-key tribute from Bayern Munich ahead of their DFB-Pokal round-of-16 match against Magdeburg on Wednesday. The Ballon d'Or winner, named on the bench in a tracksuit, was given a guard of honour by teammates and applause from the Allianz Arena crowd but did not bring his trophy onto the pitch.

Kane thanked the supporters in a pre-match video, saying: "I want to thank you all for your support. It's really our trophy. I hold it, but it belongs to all of Bayern, all the supporters, my entire team, the staff and everyone involved. I can't wait to share this with you. It will be really special to present it to you. It's a great achievement, we should be proud to have the Ballon d'Or here in Munich."

The Bayern striker became the first English winner since Michael Owen in 2001 and the sixth in history. He finished ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal in the voting.
