On The Continent - A European Football Podcast29 Loka

Golden balls

Harry Kane is your 2026 Ballon d’Or winner! A stunning season leaves him with football’s top award for an individual footballer, but how much does the accolade mean for the Bundesliga and German football more broadly?

David Cartlidge and Nicky Bandini join Dotun this week to explore that. Plus, a huge win for José Mourinho and Real Madrid in El Clásico. Have they brought themselves right back in the title fight? And finally, we check in on Project Amorim at Milan after their midweek defeat to Bologna. Are there any signs that he can bring them back to their former glory?
