Another trophy miss for Harry Kane! 44-goal Bayern Munich striker told why England team-mate Jude Bellingham will beat him in Ballon d’Or battle

Three Lions captain Kane has enjoyed a productive debut campaign in Germany on a personal level, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/hurry-harry-kane-not-giving-up-breaking-robert-lewandowski-record-35-bundesliga-goals-bayern-munich/blt63a885b268ac840f" target="_blank">44 goals recorded across all competitions</a>. The former Tottenham frontman is, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everyone-laughing-england-harry-kane-selfish-robert-lewandowski-record-bayern-munich-trophy-bid/blt802d3f428a3edcce" target="_blank">destined to end another season empty-handed</a> – as his wait for elusive silverware goes on.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bellingham has contributed to that frustration on the trophy front, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wembley-for-15th-jude-bellingham-reacts-champions-league-final-remarkable-european-rescue-mission-real-madrid/blta44dd33419dce33a" target="_blank">Real Madrid dashing Bayern’s Champions League dreams for 2024</a> at the semi-final stage. Los Blancos' midfielder is another Englishman thriving outside of his homeland, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-above-real-madrid-legends-zinedine-zidane-luis-figo-blancos-champions-league-all-time-greats/blt075f273883d02cc0" target="_blank">22 goals registered this season</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kane’s former Spurs team-mate, Jamie O’Hara, believes that Bellingham now leads his international colleague when it comes to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ballon-dor-2024-power-rankings/blt64e16da6b8170bb7" target="_blank">a Golden Ball race</a>. O’Hara has told <a href="https://www.grosvenorcasinos.com/sport " target="_blank">Grosvenor Sport</a>: “Bellingham’s going to be in with a shout for the Ballon d’Or. To do what he’s done, he’s an incredible player. I love watching him play football. He’s in the Champions League final and if he produces a big moment in it, then he’s definitely deserving of the award. I think Harry Kane still deserves to be in with a shout but if you don’t win trophies, you don’t win the awards, it’s as simple as that. It looks like it’s going to be someone from Real Madrid and I’d give it to Bellingham.”

WHAT O'HARA SAID

Vinicius Junior is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ballon-d-or-winner-why-vinicius-jr-ignoring-golden-ball-talk-champions-league-final-real-madrid/blt6e577c5d13c04eae" target="_blank">another Madrid star in the hunt for Ballon d’Or recognition</a>, while Kylian Mbappe – who is expected to head for Santiago Bernabeu after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-psg-exit-real-madrid-transfer-summer/blt0babc3165af5d51f" target="_blank">confirming that he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent</a> – will also come into the conversation after plundering 44 goals himself at club level in 2023-24.
