Bayern forward Harry Kane commented on Kylian Mbappe's absence for nomination for the Gerd Muller Trophy.

" We both had a great season, and I, too, scored 52 goals.. It is a great honor for me to win the city.

“It’s your responsibility to ask someone why you’re not here, otherwise I’d have the honor of being here this evening,” Kane said..

The Gerd Muller Trophy is awarded for the most goals scored in the previous season..

It is significant that Mbappe did not arrive at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris. In this manner, just before the award ceremony, only Harry Kane appeared on stage.
