Harry Kane was given a guard of honour by his Bayern Munich team-mates on his return to the Allianz Arena following his Ballon d'Or victory, before the club beat second-division FC Magdeburg in the German Cup second round.

Kane watched much of the match from the bench as Bayern progressed comfortably into the last 16, with the evening carrying a celebratory atmosphere around his individual award.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the trophy presentation, Kane said he would be 'massively proud' to receive a knighthood, though he admitted it would be 'weird' to have everyone calling him Sir Harry. He becomes the first Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or since 2001.

FootVal's valuation of Kane stands at €41m, against a Transfermarkt market value of €60m. He has contributed four goals and five assists in seven appearances for Bayern so far this season, with his contract at the club running until June 2027.
