Harry Kane on Ballon d’Or, Bayern, and his Next Goals

Fresh off winning the Ballon d’Or, Harry Kane outlined his ambitions to secure the Champions League and build a new golden era with FC Bayern Munich.

The 33-year-old forward has netted 156 goals in 162 appearances for the German club since his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023. SPORT BILD reported that Kane views the team and the surrounding environment at Bayern as the driving force behind his recent individual success.

“Der Wechsel zu Bayern war ein großer Schritt in meiner Karriere und auch für meine Familie,” Kane said in an interview with SPORT BILD. “Ohne sie hätte ich den Ballon d’Or nicht gewinnen könnten.”

Kane emphasized that his primary focus remains on lifting the Champions League trophy with Bayern Munich. He pointed out that the club’s winning culture and attacking freedom allow him to drop deep into midfield while maintaining his scoring output.

“Ich habe immer gesagt, dass es mein Ziel ist, mit Bayern die Champions League zu gewinnen,” Kane told SPORT BILD. “Sie mit dieser Mannschaft zu gewinnen, wäre ein ganz besonderes Gefühl.”

The England forward also highlighted teammate Michael Olise, noting that the young winger’s strong performances place him in contention for future individual accolades.

Kane’s recent milestones extend to the international stage, where he became England’s outright record appearance maker with 126 caps. He marked the occasion with his 92nd international goal during a 2-1 Nations League victory over Croatia.

“Den Rekord zu brechen, ist ein riesiges Ereignis in der Geschichte unseres Sports,” Kane said following the match, as reported by SPORT BILD.

Despite his achievements, Kane sidestepped questions about eventually breaking the Premier League all-time scoring record, reiterating that his immediate priorities lie with domestic and European success in Germany.
