Kane to present Ballon d’Or and smash English appearance record against Croatia

The 33-year-old marksman is looking forward to the day where he will present his personal honour and also surpass Peter Shilton’s appearance total.

Harry Kane will present the Ballon d’Or to the England fans at Wembley Stadium tomorrow ahead of the game against Croatia.

The Bayern Munich star will also break the record for all-time England appearances which he currently shares with Peter Shilton.

“It’s definitely up there [with the biggest achievements of my career],” said Kane, speaking in an interview with GOAL.com.

“I think it showcases consistency at the highest level and I think any great player wants to be able to perform year on year.

“To reach the number of caps I have is a testament to the things I spoke about in my [Ballon d’Or] speech.

“All the stuff behind the scenes, the dedication and for sure it is one of the biggest milestones of my career.

“The Ballon d’Or is still in Munich but hoping it will be there tomorrow. I think everyone is extremely proud that I won it.

“For me personally, it’s great to see the boys and people that helped me win it. It’s been amazing for Bayern, England, for English fans. 

“It’s been incredible, just grateful for all of the support,” Kane explained. England coach Thomas Tuchel also praised the striker.

“It’s a big occasion to present the Ballon d’Or to our fans and bring it to the country,” Tuchel said during England’s latest press conference.

“To have it on the same day when he gets his all-time record for 126 matches. It’s a beautiful, beautiful occasion,” he concluded.
