England has had to wait a long time for another winner of the Ballon d'Or, with Harry Kane on Monday night becoming the first player from the country to win it for 25 years.

But his success has also been celebrated in Germany with the Bayern Munich striker ending their even longer run without a player from the Bundesliga lifting the coveted trophy.
