Story summary

England captain Harry Kane officially became the most-capped men’s player in the history of the England national team during a Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, November 12, 2026. By featuring in this match, the 33-year-old striker earned his 126th appearance, surpassing the previous record held by Peter Shilton. Kane, who also holds the record for the most goals for the Three Lions with 91 goals, scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Croatia. The match served as a major milestone for the Bayern Munich forward, who was recently crowned the winner of the Ballon d’Or for the first time since Michael Owen in 2001. Before the game, Prince William led a series of tributes at Wembley, where Kane was presented with a commemorative shirt and appeared on the pitch with his four children. Kane also held his Ballon d'Or trophy aloft to the crowd during the celebration. The victory helps England position themselves for a potentially easier quarter-final opponent in March.
