Harry Kane becomes England's most-capped men's footballer
Harry Kane has become England's most-capped men's footballer.
Harry Kane, England's all-time leading goalscorer, expressed his desire to continue playing for his national team as long as possible after securing a record 126th cap against Croatia. The Tottenham Hotspur striker, who recently won the prestigious Ballon d'Or, scored the decisive penalty in a 2-1 victory for England, securing their spot in the Nations League quarter-finals next March.
Kane's achievement surpassed the previous record of 125 caps held by Peter Shilton, who was honored during the match presentation alongside Prince William.
In his post-match interview, Kane acknowledged Modric's late appearance for Croatia as a source of inspiration, stating that witnessing such dedication encourages him to push his own limits. The Bayern Munich forward emphasized that he will continue playing as long as he feels capable of helping the national team and maintaining high performance levels. While he cannot predict exactly when he will retire, Kane expressed his enjoyment of every moment in his football career.
