“Coming off the best season I’ve ever had”: Kane targets World Cup glory after 61-goal Bayern blitz | OneFootball

Harry Kane hopes he can take a career best campaign at Bayern Munich into this summer's World Cup with England.

England open theirWorld Cup campaign against Croatia this evening, with the Three Lions among the favourites for success in North America.

Thomas Tuchel's side will lean on Kane throughout their challenge. The England captain scored 61 goals in just 51 games for Bayern Munich in 2025/26, as he fired the German giants to a domestic double.

After ending the campaign as theBundesliga's top scorer and winning the European Golden Shoe, Kane is confident he is arriving at the World Cup in peak form.

“I’d say, from a personal point of view, coming off the best season I’ve ever had, physically and mentally," he said ahead of facing Croatia.

“The way the season ended for me was in a great way - to win the league and the cup final and score three goals there. From a physical point of view I feel in great shape.

“Throughout a career, you need a lot of things to go your way and fall into place at the right time, and I feel like it has at this tournament,”Kane said.

“We just need to start well tomorrow and prove we could go far in this tournament.

“We've been able to be in the semi-finals and finals, and that only boosts the confidence within the squad. Ultimately, from our point of view, we can only do what we do on the pitch.

“Part of every tournament is for fans to get excited and enjoy the summer. I remember being young, singing the songs and believing it was our time.

“From a player's point of view, we never get too carried away. There is a lot that goes into a tournament like this behind the scenes.”
