After scoring 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances in the 2025/26 season, Harry Kane has been awarded the European Golden Shoe.
The England captain finished well ahead of Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, who came second and third respectively.
It's the second time Kane wins the award, having also claimed the Golden Shoe in the 2023/24 season. In doing so, he joins Bayern legends Gerd Müller and Robert Lewandowski as players to have won the prize twice.
Across all competitions this season, Kane scored a remarkable 61 goals in 51 appearances.
“It was the best season of my career personally,” Kane said after helping Bayern secure the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal.
