Harry Kane Breaks Messi and Ronaldo’s Record with Explosive Start at Bayern

Harry Kane has surpassed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring 20 goals in just 12 games for Bayern Munich this season. His strike in Bayern’s 4-0 Champions League win over Club Brugge set new milestones, bringing him close to Wayne Rooney’s and Robert Lewandowski’s European scoring records.

After the 4-0 Champions League win over Club Brugge, Harry Kane created history by surpassing Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s fastest 20-goal record. The England captain reached 20 goals in just 12 games for Bayern Munich and England combined, outpacing Messi’s 17-match mark and Ronaldo’s 13-match milestone from the 2014-15 season. Kane opened the scoring in the 14th minute of the match, continuing his extraordinary form since joining Bayern.

The striker is now only two goals away from equalling Wayne Rooney’s record of 25 Champions League goals for a single club by an Englishman. Having scored 21 goals for Tottenham in Europe before, Kane is on course to rewrite multiple records. He is also nearing Robert Lewandowski’s Bayern milestone of 25 Champions League goals in 29 games and has already crossed 400 career goals after netting against Borussia Dortmund.

In the international circuit, Kane’s recent goal against Latvia took his England tally while playing for Bayern to 18, overtaking Gary Lineker’s previous record of 17 scored during his time at Barcelona. With Bayern’s dominance and Kane’s relentless scoring run, the forward continues to cement his place among football’s all-time greats.
