Harry Kane: Would Swap Ballon d'Or for Champions League Title
UEFA Champions League · 11:35:54 - Thursday, 5 November 2026

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane says he would trade his Ballon d'Or trophy for a Champions League winner's medal. The 33-year-old England captain, who became the first Englishman since 2001 to win the award, told a news conference ahead of Bayern's Champions League match against Atletico Madrid that team success remains his priority.

Contract extension imminent

Kane revealed he is "extremely close" to signing a new contract with Bayern, with the deal expected to be finalised within the next few days. He joined the club from Tottenham for £86.4m (€100m) in August 2023 and scored 73 goals for club and country last season as Bayern secured a domestic treble.

Kompany sidelined

Bayern have been without head coach Vincent Kompany since he collapsed during a training session on 23 October. The Belgian was discharged from hospital five days later but no return date has been set. Assistant Aaron Danks has taken charge of first-team duties in the interim.
