Harry Kane Celebrates Ballon d'Or Win and Record Caps

Harry Kane, the England captain, expressed that the reaction to his 2026 Ballon d’Or triumph and his record-breaking 126th appearance for the national team was "overwhelming." This occurred during a UEFA Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley Stadium, where England won 2-1. Before the match, Kane received a special tribute, including a giant tifo from supporters and presentations from Prince William, former England appearance record holder Peter Shilton, and Croatia captain Luka Modric.

Kane presented his Ballon d’Or trophy to the crowd, which elicited applause and emotional responses from him. He thanked those who organized the tributes and acknowledged Luka Modric and the Croatia team for their gift.

Kane scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 64th minute, marking his 92nd international goal and further extending his record as England's all-time leading goalscorer.
