A striker who scores goals, creates chances, takes penalties and even goal kicks!
That's Harry Kane, one of the leading contenders for the Ballon d'Or!
After securing Arsenal's 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Declan Rice declared that his fellow Englishman should win the award in 2026.
According to the Arsenal midfielder, the striker's performances speak for themselves, highlighting his brilliant assist and composure from the penalty spot in their head-to-head clash.
"For me, Harry is the clear winner of the 2026 Ballon d'Or. His numbers speak for themselves. For a striker to provide an assist like that for the first goal and take the penalty the way he did... He's ridiculous, he's such a good player," Rice said.
The Bayern striker scored 73 goals in 65 games last season.
In 2026/27, Kane has already scored 16 times in 15 matches.
And the striker is just one game away from matching Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time record for scoring in the most consecutive UEFA Champions League matches.
With his goal on Wednesday, Kane has now scored in 10 consecutive UCL matches.
If he scores against Atlético Madrid, the Bayern Munich star will match CR7's feat of scoring in 11 straight games in 2018.
So, who do you think should win the Ballon d'Or?
