The Ballon d'Or is getting closer! Kane scores again! Just look at this incredible stat

Harry Kane keeps turning the Ballon d'Or conversation into a conversation about goals.

Details: The England captain found the net once again, scoring in the Three Lions' 2-0 UEFA Nations League victory over Czechia in Prague. Kane struck in the 69th minute, reacting quickest to a loose ball inside the penalty area and giving Thomas Tuchel's side a two-goal advantage after Anthony Gordon had opened the scoring.

The latest goal extends an extraordinary run for the Bayern Munich striker. Kane has now scored eight times across his last seven appearances for club and country in all competitions. During that sequence, he netted twice against Osnabrück, scored against Bodø/Glimt and Elversberg, hit another brace against Union Berlin, found the net against Spain and has now added Czechia to the list.

Those numbers arrive at a particularly interesting moment in the Ballon d'Or race. A latest live check of the Polymarket market cited by Dailysports had Kane back on top at 44.7%, narrowly ahead of Lamine Yamal at 43.6%. These figures reflect a prediction market rather than official voting results. It is also worth noting that Kane's strike in Prague was his 87th goal for the England national team, extending his record as the country's all-time leading scorer.
