Faster than Messi and Ronaldo: Kane breaks historic goal record | OneFootball

Harry Kane has done it again! The FC Bayern striker continues to make history and on Wednesday evening set a record in the Champions League clash with FC Brugge that neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo have ever achieved in their careers.

With his goal in the 4-0 home victory against the Belgians, Kane scored his 20th goal of the season – and that after just twelve competitive matches. No other player in Europe's top leagues has reached this mark in such a short time.

Kane surpasses Messi and Ronaldo at the 20-goal mark

A look at the statistics shows: Cristiano Ronaldo needed 13 games in his best season (2014/15 at Real Madrid) to reach 20 goals. Lionel Messi took 17 matches in his record season (2012/13 at FC Barcelona) before hitting the same mark.

Harry Kane, on the other hand, achieved it in twelve games – making him the fastest player in modern football history to score 20 competitive goals at the start of a season.

A record that won't keep Messi or Ronaldo up at night, but still serves as proof of Kane's incredible early form. The 32-year-old not only consistently delivers goals but is also increasingly establishing himself as the undisputed leader at FC Bayern.

Since his move from London to Munich, Kane has seamlessly continued his world-class performances from the Premier League. This season, he scores almost at will – whether in the Bundesliga, Champions League, or Cup.

His current record: 12 games, 20 goals, 6 assists

This means the Englishman is directly involved in 26 goals – a figure that is simply extraordinary at this stage of the season.
