Tottenham striker Harry Kane: I'm always having to prove people wrong

Tottenham striker Harry Kane says he's happy to keep proving people wrong.

Kane admits he's pushing to match Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Leo Messi.

"I've had to prove people wrong throughout my career," he told the Daily Mail, "and I love proving to myself I can do that, too. So this is about making that point. The Euros was disappointing for me, for everyone, and the challenge is to put that right. Ronaldo is the best in the world, up there with Lionel Messi, so my challenge is to be up there with them, too.

"To do that you can't aim low. I put no limits on myself — and nobody else should, either. I worked hard to get where I am. I have a lot of determination and it is now about stepping it up.

"I want to prove myself at a major tournament, be up there with the best in the world and the only way to do that is to perform in the big moments."
