Harry Kane, the Bayern Munich striker, described winning the Ballon d'Or as an achievement that surpasses his "big dreams," emphasizing his desire to retain the prestigious award next year after ending England's 25-year absence from the accolade.

After receiving the award, Kane said: "My heart was racing, and having Ronaldo - one of my idols growing up - hand me the award makes it feel like a dream come true, it even surpasses my big dreams."

Kane spoke about the significant sacrifices he made to reach this level, expressing gratitude to his personal doctor Alejandro Elorriaga and everyone who supported him, recalling the long hours he spent in treatment and rehabilitation sessions that took time away from his family.

He added: "My training style and play always make me feel like I'm 15 years old, and I still have a lot to prove. After winning the award, I'm already thinking about how to improve my level to try to win it again."

With this title, Kane became the first English player to win the Ballon d'Or awarded by France Football since Michael Owen in 2001, joining the ranks of his country's legends who have received it, such as Stanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton, and Kevin Keegan.

In response to questions about the possibility of returning to the Premier League to break Alan Shearer's record for the fastest/most goals scored, Kane clarified: "Not at the moment, I'm enjoying my life at Bayern Munich."

Regarding his future goals, the English striker confirmed that his focus is on major titles: "I still have a lot to achieve, starting with winning the UEFA Champions League with Bayern, and aiming for a major title with the England national team, which is my top priority moving forward."

Kane left the British capital London on Tuesday morning heading to Munich to join his team's training in preparation for the match against Magdeburg on Wednesday in the DFB-Pokal.
