From the source
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane says he would swap his Ballon d'Or trophy for a Champions League winner's medal. The 33-year-old became the first Englishman since 2001 to win the accolade, beating Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe and Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal.
But Kane, who is expected to sign a new contract with Bayern "within the next few days", says winning Europe's elite club competition is at the forefront of his mind after a "rollercoaster" week.
"Team trophies are why we play football. The team aspect of our sport is really, really important," Kane told a news conference before Bayern's Champions League fixture with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital.
