Kane and Olmo are competing for the golden boot gong, with UEFA stating that if neither player scores in Berlin or they score the same amount of goals, the ruling system will be changed to award the prize to multiple winners. Under UEFA’s usual set-up, Olmo would have won the award by default if the situation remained the same after Sunday’s match. Kane has had a varied tournament, contributing to his team’s success and scoring crucial goals such as England’s only goal against Denmark in the group stages and an extra-time winner against Slovakia in the last 16. Should Kane win the prize, it will be his second golden boot at a major tournament, having previously won at the 2018 World Cup.
He was also the European Golden Shoe winner for his 44 goals in 45 games across all five major European leagues. Kane defended his penalty against the Netherlands, stating that he was caught and believes it was the right decision. *Join our new WhatsApp community* *and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
