Harry Janney became the first English player to win the award since Oyun in 2001 when he scored 1,055 points at Friday's Ballon d'Or ceremony. The Bayern Munich forward received 40 first-place votes in the voting of 100 professional journalists. The score was only 28 points higher than that of Real Madrid forward Ambabi, showing that the competition between the two is extremely fierce. Former Brazilian star Kaka said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport that Janney fully deserved this honor with his outstanding performance throughout the season and believed that the voting process was fair and just.
Janni has contributed many key goals for Bayern this season and helped the team win multiple trophies.
