He also became the first Bundesliga player in 30 years to win the award.The England captain saw off competition from Kylian Mbappe and Lamin Yamal after a superb 2025-26 campaign that saw him score 73 goals for club and country in all competitions.His remarkable scoring record played a vital role in Bayern’s domestic success, while his performances for England further enhanced his reputation.
