In his interview given to France Footballthe 2026 Ballon d’Or designated his hat-trick in the final of the German Cup, won 3-0 against VfB Stuttgart, as one of the high points of his exercise. Bayern Munich had been waiting to regain this trophy for six years and the English striker had made the difference in a major meeting. “That final was probably one of my greatest performances. I took my responsibility by scoring a hat-trick”he explained.
Kane also cited England’s victory against the Democratic Republic of Congo (2-1) in the round of 16 of the World Cup, during which he scored his team’s two goals in the 75th and 86th minutes. A memory all the more striking for him in view of the previous English disillusionments in the knockout matches. “Being the one who took responsibility that day and allowed the team to qualify gave me one of the greatest emotions of my life”he admitted. Two decisive meetings which illustrate the importance of his goals in the moments when his team needed him the most.
