(opens the publisher’s site)Harry Kane has described his 73-goal campaign as his best season while saying the Ballon d'Or outcome is not in his hands, ahead of the October 26 ceremony.
- Kane told Spanish outlet Marca the 2025-26 season was "by far, the best season of my life," calling his tally of 73 goals the second-highest in history behind Lionel Messi's 82 in 2011-12.
- Kane said the Ballon d'Or "isn't in my hands," adding that last season is in the past and he is focused on the current campaign.
- Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness said Kane deserves the Ballon d'Or, declaring the striker deserves it "more than Mbappé."
- The 70th Ballon d'Or ceremony will take place in London, Kane's birthplace, on October 26, with Kane, Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé among the candidates.
