England captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has won the European Golden Shoe for the 2025/26 season after finishing as Europe’s leading league goalscorer. Kane enjoyed an extraordinary campaign, scoring 36 Bundesliga goals and finishing the season with 73 goals for club and country. His remarkable scoring form helped Bayern Munich secure major honours, while he also played a key role for England during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The award represents Kane’s second European Golden Shoe, having previously claimed the prize in 2024 after scoring 36 Bundesliga goals in his first season with Bayern. His latest achievement places him among the elite group of prolific European goalscorers, with only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo having won the award more times. Kane’s 2025/26 campaign was particularly impressive given that his 73 goals came across both club and international football, underlining his consistency at the highest level.
Kane’s latest individual honour further strengthens his status as one of the most prolific strikers of his generation. His performances have also helped establish him as a central figure in Bayern’s attack since joining the German champions from Tottenham. With another Golden Shoe now added to his collection, the England captain continues to challenge some of the greatest scoring records in modern football and remains one of Europe’s most dependable goalscorers.
