Harry Kane is having an outstanding 2025-2026 season with Bayern Munich and the England national team. He has scored 23 goals in 17 appearances for Bayern Munich, helping the club lead the Bundesliga and perform strongly in the UEFA Champions League group stages. For England, Kane has netted 3 goals in 4 matches, including two goals in a 5-0 victory against Latvia that secured England's qualification to the next World Cup.
Kane recognizes that winning major titles like the UEFA Champions League or the World Cup is crucial to his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, dismissing the idea that merely scoring many goals is enough to claim the award. He believes both he and fellow contender Erling Haaland need to secure these big trophies to be true favorites.
Kane is optimistic about the future with both Bayern Munich and England and aims to be a strong candidate for the Ballon d'Or this season. England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania remain important preparation matches despite their assured qualification.
