Harry Kane received a special tribute from England supporters at Wembley Stadium after becoming the Three Lions' most-capped player with his 126th international appearance.

The captain marked the historic occasion with a match-winning contribution in their 2-1 Nations League victory over Croatia.

Kane was welcomed onto the Wembley pitch on Thursday with a spectacular tifo celebrating his record-breaking appearance for England.

The pre-match presentation also included tributes from former record holder Peter Shilton, Prince William and Croatia captain Luka Modric, while Kane presented his Ballon d'Or trophy to the supporters.

The Bayern Munich striker then delivered on the pitch, scoring his 92nd international goal from the penalty spot to secure victory and confirm England's place in the Nations League A quarter-finals.

Reflecting on the occasion, Kane said (via Sky Sports): “It was incredible. Everything was amazing. Thank you to everyone who organised [the tributes], with the tifo and presentations. Thank you to Luka and Croatia for their gift.”

The England captain also admitted that the response to his individual achievements had been difficult to fully take in.

“I don't know if I've taken it all in fully. The reception I've had has been overwhelming,” he added.

Kane's contribution extended beyond his goal, with his clever pass into Jude Bellingham helping create Morgan Rogers' opener.

He described the victory as an important moment for the national team, although England still have the opportunity to top their group and secure seeding for the quarter-final draw when they face Spain in Madrid.

Kane's achievement deserved recognition, and the Wembley tifo provided a memorable way for supporters to celebrate one of the most significant milestones in English football history.

Reaching 126 appearances while continuing to deliver goals and performances for his country is an extraordinary achievement.

The fact that he followed the pre-match celebrations with the winning goal made the occasion even more special, giving England fans a night to remember at Wembley.
