The Ballon d'Or ceremony concluded with Harry Kane being crowned, but it was not without controversy. The official Ballon d'Or website mistakenly published 'winner' articles for all three main nominees (Kane, Mbappé, and Yamal) just hours before the ceremony, which were later deleted. Additionally, the event started 45 minutes late due to a surge of fans and heavy traffic outside the London Palladium.
ISNA is a semi-official Iranian news agency (Iranian Students News Agency). This is a translation of that outlet's own report; it is the outlet's account, not Artesh's finding.
