Ballon d’Or 2026: Can Bayern’s Harry Kane end England’s 25 years of hurt?

Bayern Munich striker Kane faces tough competition from Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe, who are also in the running.

MUNICH: Arsenal secured a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday, with Declan Rice scoring a late equaliser for the Gunners. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring for Arsenal after coming on as a substitute for the injured Bukayo Saka, while Alphonso Davies equalized for Bayern after a fine pass from Harry Kane.

Kane extended his scoring streak to 10 consecutive Champions League games by converting a second-half penalty, but Rice's equalizer earned Arsenal a point. The Gunners sit seven points ahead of Bayern in the standings after three games. Kane expressed his belief that the draw was a fair result and looked forward to the upcoming Ballon d'Or ceremony in his hometown.

He is one goal shy of Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 11 consecutive Champions League matches with a goal.
