Harry Kane has been honored as the top scorer of the 2025-26 season at the Ballon d’Or ceremony held in London, following an extraordinary campaign in which he scored 73 goals across all competitions. Already the recipient of the European Golden Shoe, Kane’s prolific scoring earned him the prestigious Gerd Müller Trophy, an accolade awarded by France Football to the player with the highest goal tally during the considered season.
Outstanding Goal-Scoring Feat During the 2025-26 Season
Kane’s goal-scoring exploits throughout the season were nothing short of remarkable. In the Bundesliga, he netted an impressive 36 goals over 31 matches, showcasing his dominance in Germany’s top flight. His scoring prowess extended to Europe’s premier club competition, the Champions League, where he added 14 goals in 13 appearances. Moreover, Kane contributed six goals at the World Cup, bolstering his international credentials.
| Competition/Team | Matches | Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Bundesliga | 31 | 36 |
| Champions League | 13 | 14 |
| DFB Pokal | 6 | 10 |
| DFL Supercup | 1 | 1 |
| England national team | 14 | 12 |
| Total | 73 |
This marks Kane’s second time receiving the Gerd Müller Trophy. He previously shared the honor with Kylian Mbappé in 2024, when both players recorded 52 goals each. Kane’s current achievement not only surpasses his previous tally but also establishes a new record for the highest number of goals scored by a winner of the award.
While the question of who will be named the best footballer in the world remains open, Kane’s status as the season’s most prolific striker has been officially confirmed by France Football. His goal-scoring milestone stands as a testament to his exceptional finishing ability and consistency over the course of the 2025-26 season.
