Harry Kane won’t win the Ballon d’Or because of his shortcomings in the Champions League and World Cup.That’s the opinion of Teddy Sheringham, who named the player that he believes is worthy of claiming the honour for a second time.Kane is a Ballon d’Or favourite, but Sheringham would not vote for himGettyKane has made the 30-man shortlist for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, with its ceremony taking place on October 26 in London.The award is based on success from the previous season and so the 2025/26 campaign will be taken into account this time round, as well as the World Cup.Across 51 appearances for Bayern Munich, Kane scored a whopping 61 goals and assisted a further seven.He then netted six times during the World Cup and won a third-place medal with England as captain.However, fellow former Tottenham Hotspur striker Sheringham told talkSPORT that Kane doesn’t have the credentials to win the Ballon d’Or this year.“Would he get my vote? Not really,” he explained to Sam Matterface, Alex Crook and Scott Minto.“I think he’s had a phenomenal season, but the Ballon d’Or winner is normally one that wins the Champions League or the World Cup, or whatever is there at that moment. “He didn’t quite do that, so he’s an also-ran for me. Sorry about that, Harry!”Who should win the Ballon d’Or?Sheringham was asked who he would vote for to win the award, and revealed that 2024 champion Rodri deserves to be crowned again.The midfielder, who signed for Barcelona in the summer, won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup with Manchester City last season, during which he featured 33 times.Sheringham believes Rodri is worthy of winning after his World Cup successGettyRodri then played in all eight matches for Spain at the World Cup as they won their first title since 2010 by beating Argentina in the final.“He’s a leader, his teams normally win week in, week out. Manchester City, Spain,” Sheringham said.“I know he’s gone now but whoever he plays for, they win.”Have any of the Ballon d’Or nominees won the Champions League and World Cup?Out of the 30 nominations, Fabian Ruiz is the only player to have won both the Champions League and World Cup.The 30-year-old featured in nine of Paris Saint-Germain‘s European fixtures as they won the final against Arsenal on penalties.Ruiz was also involved in every match that Spain played at the World Cup, with starts coming in four of those.Dembele is the current holder of football’s most prestigious solo prizeGettyHis PSG teammate Ousmane Dembele is the defending champion and also among the nominees.They are joined by stars such as the record eight-time winner Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland.
