The goalscorer will also be outstanding in the jersey of FC Bayern and the English national team in 2025/26. Does this mean he has a chance of being named world footballer? Harry Kane makes an announcement.
23 goals in 17 competitive games – Harry Kane continues to deliver more than reliably in the current season under Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, is the linchpin of the German record champions’ offensive, and is currently in impressive form. Kane also scored seven goals in eight appearances for England in 2025.
However, he only expects himself to have a chance of winning the Ballon d’Or, the biggest individual award in world football, under one condition: “I could score 100 goals this season, but if I don’t win the Champions League or the World Cup, I probably won’t win the Ballon d’Or,” the English international told the “Mirror”.
The striker added: “But if everything goes well for my club and my country, I will definitely be in the conversation for a trophy like the Ballon d’Or.”
The same applies to other goal scorers like Erling Haaland. “You have to win these big titles,” emphasized Kane and went into detail about the chances. “We definitely seem to be one of the favorites for the Champions League. That might improve my chances a bit. The same goes for England. I think we will go into the tournament as one of the favorites.”
Paris Saint-German’s Ousmane Dembélé was awarded the Ballon d’Or in the September vote. The French international led PSG to win the Champions League, French championship and French cup with 33 goals in 4 competitive games.
