This comes as England held the award for the first time in its 70-year history. London was chosen to host this year’s historic edition in tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, who won the inaugural award in 1956.

Julien Froment, a journalist for Radio France, wrote on X: "The barrier leading to the red carpet is really struggling to hold, a lot of people want to get close to see the Ballon d'or nominees."

He continued to say that police intervened to bring things "back to calm", the London Standard reports.

Other fans climbed on top of containers in the streets and jumped around excitedly to catch a glimpse of players.

It is unclear whether any arrests were made.

Kane is the first English player to win the Ballon d'Or in 25 years after being crowned the world's best footballer.

He helped the clup secure yet another Bundesliga crown, as well as a German cup.

Kane continued that form for England and the World Cup as he scored six goals for the Three Lions as they finished third under Thomas Tuchel.

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal became the first player ever to be presented with the Kopa Trophy for the world’s best under-21 player at the Ballon d’Or.
