WHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking after being presented with the award in Paris, the England captain said: "It was his personal decision not to be present. We both had a very good season and, like me, he scored 52 goals. It's a great honour to be rewarded. We'll have to ask him why he wasn't there, but it's an honour to be here tonight in any case."</p>

WHAT HARRY KANE SAID

<p>The 31-year-old will fly back to Munich and will be back in action for the club on Wednesday as the Bavarian side take on Mainz in a DFB Pokal second-round clash. Mbappe, meanwhile, is due back in La Liga action for Real Madrid away at Valencia on Saturday.</p>
