Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane said he would give up his Ballon d'Or trophy in exchange for winning the Champions League title. The England international made the comments ahead of arriving at Madrid's Metropolitano stadium, where attention is now focused on his next appearance in the European competition. BBC News ↗
Kane became the first Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or since 2001. In claiming the prestigious individual award, he outperformed other contenders, with his success underlining his status among the most outstanding strikers of the present day. Nevertheless, he regards winning the Champions League as his greatest team ambition.
The 33-year-old joined Bayern as a striker capable of significantly boosting the team's attack. El País described him as a player able to multiply the attacking strength of a side the way Pep Guardiola had envisioned for Bayern. In the past, Carlo Ancelotti and José Mourinho had also wanted to sign him in connection with Real Madrid. El Pais ↗
Kane's remark reflects the difference between individual and collective success. He has already won the Ballon d'Or, but a winning Champions League medal remains his major goal. Bayern Munich will continue striving to win the European title as the competition progresses, with Kane set to remain one of the team's key figures.
