  WHAT HAPPENED?

  In an interview with GOAL, in association with STATSports, Kane was presented with eight of the toughest centre-backs he has faced in his career: Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Van Dijk, Rudiger, John Terry, Ruben Dias, Giorgio Chiellini, and Mats Hummels. After doing a knockout game that involved eliminating one of those players in a direct head-to-head, the 31-year-old chose Chelsea icon Terry as the best defender he has ever faced.
