Harry Kane has won countless personal accolades during his playing career, but none of it means anything compared to the prospect of lifting the trophy in the Euro 2024 final for England.
The England captain has the chance to lead his country to glory in Berlin as the Three Lions take on the much-fancied form team, Spain in the curtain closer for Euro 2024.
Speaking to The Standard ahead of the game, Kane discussed just how important it would be for him to win the tournament and finally end his own trophy drought, and was asked whether he would swap all his Golden Boot and Player of the Year awards which he scooped during his time at Tottenham Hotspur in exchange for victory over Spain.
He said: “Yeah, for sure. Of course, it’s no secret that I haven’t won a team trophy and ever year goes by I’m more motivated and more determined to change that.
“Tomorrow night I have an opportunity to win one of the biggest you could ever win and make history with my nation, [and] I’m extremely proud to be English.
“No question, I’d swap everything I’ve done in my career to have a special night and a win tomorrow evening. That’s not the case. There’s a lot of hard work until that moment but I’m really determined to make tomorrow night a special one.”
Kane’s high-profile switch from Tottenham to Bayern Munich last summer was supposed to signal the end of his wait for a major club trophy. That didn’t work out, though, with Bayer Leverkusen storming to the Bundesliga title despite Kane’s best efforts in front of goal.
The 30-year-old will be looking to go one better with England on this evening, after seeing his country fall at the final hurdle in the Euro 2020 final three years ago, losing on penalties to Italy.

This has got to be Kane and England’s time for glory. They have grown into the tournament and are hitting form at just the right time, and I think the mental fortitude of the players and Gareth Southgate will get us over the line.
