Harry Kane
With a stunning brace for England on Sunday night, Harry Kane has surpassed the legendary King of football, Pelé.
Against Albania, during the final round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, Harry Kane once again showcased his lethal finishing. By scoring his 77th and 78th goals for the national team, Kane secured a 2-0 victory and surpassed the historic record set by Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé. The Brazilian superstar reached this tally in 92 matches. The Bayern Munich striker achieved it in 112.
An impressive feat that adds to his 25 goals this season in just 18 appearances for both club and country.
