I'll Swap Ballon d'Or Award For Champions League Winner's Medal - Kane

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has said he would swap his Ballon d'Or trophy for a Champions League winner's medal. The 33-year-old became the first Englishman since 2001 to win the accolade, beating Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe and Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal.

But Kane, who is expected to sign a new contract with Bayern "within the next few days", says winning Europe's elite club competition is at the forefront of his mind after a "rollercoaster" week, as reported by BBC Sport. "Team trophies are why we play football.

The team aspect of our sport is really, really important," Kane told a news conference before Bayern's Champions League fixture with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital. "The Ballon d'Or last week was one of the best feelings I've had in my life and my career.

But to have moments with the team, celebrations with the club - to be able to lift the Champions League with Bayern would be an incredible feeling."
