Kane says he is in the dark over Monday's Ballon d'Or after extending his Champions League scoring run to 10 matches in Bayern's 2-2 draw.
- Kane scored as Bayern drew 2-2 with Arsenal, becoming the second player to score in 10 straight Champions League games, behind Cristiano Ronaldo's 11.
- Kane said he would prefer to know the outcome in advance, telling reporters he is still in the dark over Monday's decision.
- The winner, chosen by a jury of 100 journalists, will be announced Monday, with Kane the bookmakers' favourite over Barcelona's Lamine Yamal on the 30-man shortlist.
- Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, Kane's England teammate, said Kane is "the clear winner."
