Where do I begin? That was an evening I'll never forget. It’s an incredible honour to receive the Ballon d’Or award after a year full of goals, trophies and special milestones. Thank you to all the staff and my teammates at @england and @fcbayern, as well as family, friends and everyone who’s supported me – this wouldn’t be possible without you all. Thank you to everyone who has sent a kind message, social media post - I appreciate every single one of them. This will live long in the memory. 🙌🏆❤️

🇫🇷 In Paris, looters ransacked and wrecked the headquarters of the well-known French esports club Team Vitality, known as V.Hive. Rioters smashed the glass windows and storefronts of the complex on Sevastopol Boulevard. Some property, including branded gaming chairs, was dragged outside and burned. Computer equipment was completely stripped from the office and training base. Social media showed looters pulling expensive components, including RAM sticks, out of PCs right on the asphalt. The thieves also took the organization’s championship trophies. Among them was the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 Counter-Strike 2 cup that the team had won just a month earlier, in September. Videos later appeared of rioters showing off the stolen trophy on the streets.

Oh, that’s Micromania! They’ve been incredibly supportive of us over the years. I’ve even visited this very store in Nice! What on earth is going on here…?
