Tottenham striker Harry Kane is delighted to finish the World Cup as the Golden Boot winner.
The England captain topped the scoring charts in Russia, netting six goals to outgun the stellar likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking on Saturday after the third-place play-off loss to Belgium, he said: “I said before coming into this tournament, I wanted to prove I could do it on these stages. I said the Euros [two years ago, where he went goalless] were disappointing. If anything, I wanted to prove to myself I could score at this level.
“I've scored at every other level and it was important I did that. I'm extremely proud and I'm sure I'll look back in a few weeks' time and take all these experiences in.
“It's hard to do that now because we are still disappointed from Croatia and Belgium. But I'll look back and be extremely proud.
“It's been a fantastic campaign for me personally, and the team as well. It will be something I'm very proud of if I do win the Golden Boot.
“But there's still stuff I can improve on. There have been games in this tournament when I could have done better, but that's part of the learning curve.
“Not many people get to say they've won a Golden Boot at a World Cup. It will go with the other two from the Premier League. It's a big achievement."
