Can Kane score against croatia? he hasn't scored since winning the ballon d'Or

On November 12, England will host Croatia at Wembley Stadium in the fifth round of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League A group stage.

In late October, 33-year-old Kane beat out many stars to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or, becoming the first England player in 25 years to receive the prestigious award. However, after getting his hands on the trophy, his goal drought also began.

In the 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, Kane hit the crossbar with a penalty, and none of his six shots were on target. Subsequently, in the Champions League away game against Atletico Madrid and the Bundesliga away game against Mainz 05, the Ballon d'Or winner still failed to score. Across three games, he had a total of 18 shots, but his goal tally remained at zero.

However, Kane has not been without contributions. In these three matches, he provided four assists, helping Upamecano, Laimer, Kimmich, and Lennart Karl score. He currently leads the Bundesliga assist chart with 8 assists.

Croatia has conceded 13 goals in their last three Nations League matches, and their defense is in a slump. This match will also be Kane's 126th appearance for England, surpassing Shilton to become the team's all-time record appearance holder, giving him strong motivation to score in this game.
