Did Harry Kane have to leave England to win the Ballon d’Or?
What the coverage shows
Both outlets foreground Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or win and the 25-year gap since an Englishman last took the men’s prize. Sky News frames it as Kane ending England’s wait, while Al Jazeera presents one live update version and another headline that also mentions Alexia Putellas winning the women’s award; that detail appears only in Al Jazeera’s later extract.
