Is Harry Kane the New Goal King?

Harry Kane has once again shown why he is among the most prolific forward in the modern football. England captain has made a tremendous milestone, where he has hit 20 goals in this season at a faster rate compared to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Kane scored his 20th goal of the season in Bayern Munich 4-0 victory over Club Brugkes in the UEFA champions league – his 12 th appearance in all competitions.

Relatively, it took Lionel Messi 17 games to reach the same in his carrier years, whereas it took Cristiano Ronaldo 13 games to achieve the same in the 2014-2015 season. Kane not only matches two of the greatest icons in the history of football but also makes the point of his reliability and finishing ability since joining Germany.

Kane has now his eyes fixed on an English record. He only needs two more goals to break the English player record of 25 goals in the Champions League by one club that Wayne Rooney made. With his 21 goals in the UCL playing with Tottenham Hotspur, he is now pursuing history with Bayern Munich where records appear to be broken every week.

In addition, it is also Kane that is catching up with Robert Lewandowski benchmark – the Polish striker has scored 25 goals in 29 appearances in the Champions League in his first season with Bayern. Kane could match such in his following performance, which is an amazing revelation of how smoothly he has acclimatized to Bundesliga life.

Kane also scored his 400th career goal last week against Borussia Dortmund after becoming the fastest player to score 100 goals in a single club in the top five leagues across Europe. With such form it is not only the records of English that appear to be within reach, Kane could be writing the books on the history of the champions leagues soon.
