Harry Kane aims for ultimate glory: “I am one of the favorites for the Ballon d’Or,” declares the Bayern Munich forward in an exclusive interview with the prestigious French newspaper L’Équipe. The English striker, who has already scored an impressive 61 goals in just 51 games this season for the Bavarians, does not hide his ambition to win the most coveted prize in world football, placing himself alongside the greatest names in history.
“I will definitely be among the favorites,” Kane states, confident in his prominent position in the current football landscape. The England international emphasizes that the titles already won and his impressive scoring record cannot be overlooked in the race for the award: “Considering the titles I’ve won this season and the number of goals I’ve scored, I will be in the running. Furthermore, if England wins the World Cup, you can imagine that the award will go to an English player, although the outcome of the Champions League final should also be taken into account.”
The captain of the Three Lions does not miss the opportunity to underline his confidence in the recognition, also mentioning the location of the ceremony as a possible omen: “When we look at the current favorites for the Ballon d’Or, there are Michael Olise, the players who reached the Champions League final, and me. I saw that the ceremony will be in London. Perhaps that is a good sign for me. Winning the award in my hometown would make it even more special.”
The achievement of Kane transcends the ordinary and enters a dimension reserved for the greatest in football. “61 goals is quite an incredible number. My previous record in a single season for a club was 44 goals, and when you surpass the 60-goal mark, you enter a league where, so far, only Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have reached. At the time, their statistics seemed truly unattainable to me,” confesses the forward, whose career has been marked by impressive numbers and a rare consistency.
On winning the Golden Boot for the second time, Kane expresses pride but does not overlook the crucial role of the collective: “It’s a point of pride, especially considering that, in my opinion, only Ronaldo and Messi have won this award more than twice. Yes, I know the statistics of great strikers from the past and present by heart because I like to use these kinds of indicators as motivation. That said, in an award like the Golden Boot, it’s important not to forget that none of this would be possible without my teammates, my club’s team, and all the people who help me every day. A large part of my success belongs to them.”
Harry Kane is ready to rewrite football history, aiming for the absolute top in a season that is unlikely to be forgotten, where the Englishman wants to shine like never before. The race for the Ballon d’Or has begun — and Kane’s name is already resonating strongly among the favorites to receive the trophy that crowns the true kings of world football.
