Harry Kane, facing another historic night, reveals his big dream

Kane will present the Ballon d'Or at Wembley before England v Croatia and break Peter Shilton's caps record with his 126th appearance.

Harry Kane will have a historic night on Thursday at Wembley. The Bayern striker and England captain will present the Ballon d'Or to the home crowd before England's Nations League match against Croatia, and in doing so will become his country's outright leader in international appearances with 126 caps, surpassing Peter Shilton's record of 125 set in 1990.

The 33-year-old Kane said the milestone demonstrates "consistency at the highest level". England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Kane as "the perfect captain and an exemplary leader", noting his unique playing style and how he grows more intelligent with age. Shilton will participate in the tribute to Kane, who made his England debut in 2015 as a substitute against Lithuania, scoring within 90 seconds.

Kane's next target is 100 international goals—he currently has 91. "Winning a trophy with England, an important trophy, is my biggest dream," Kane said. "I know how difficult it is, so I'm extremely motivated to achieve it." After facing Croatia on Thursday, England travel to Spain on Sunday in the Nations League group stage.
