Harry Kane experienced a historic night at Wembley before kickoff in England’s match against Croatia. The captain of the “Three Lions” reached 126 caps for the national team, surpassing the legendary Peter Shilton, who had held the record since 1990 with 125 appearances.
In fact, Shilton himself took to the field and presented Kane with the commemorative cap in a particularly touching moment. The English forward also showed the crowd the Ballon d’Or he recently won, receiving a standing ovation from the fans.
