Harry Kane breaks England appearance record and will have Ballon d’Or win celebrated
Kane will surpass Peter Shilton’s long-standing mark with his 126th England appearance and receive the Ballon d’Or in a pre-match ceremony, Tuchel said.
- On Thursday, England captain Harry Kane will earn his 126th cap against Croatia at Wembley, surpassing Peter Shilton's long-standing record to become the country's most-capped men's player.
- This milestone caps an incredible 12 months for the 33-year-old, who became the first English player in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or in October while amassing 156 goals for Bayern Munich.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel hailed Kane as the "perfect captain and a leader by example," noting he is getting "smarter with age" as the squad prepares for Thursday's fixture.
- Before kickoff, Kane will parade the Ballon d'Or trophy before the home crowd, while England needs just a point against Croatia to secure a Nations League quarter-final spot.
- Despite his individual accolades, Kane remains focused on his "biggest dream" of lifting a major international trophy, having endured losses in the 2021 and 2024 European Championship finals.
