Kane Breaks Records in Bayern’s Dominant Victory
On October 23, 2025, Harry Kane showcased his exceptional goal-scoring ability during Bayern Munich’s impressive 4-0 win against Club Brugge in the Champions League. The English striker found the net early in the match, scoring just 14 minutes in.
This goal marked Kane’s 20th of the season in all competitions, achieved in a record time faster than both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. To date, Kane has netted 20 goals within his first 12 appearances for both Bayern and the England national team.
Messi had previously scored 20 goals in his first 17 games of a season, while Ronaldo accomplished this feat in 13 matches during the 2014-2015 campaign. Kane’s remarkable performance positions him to potentially break the English record for Champions League goals, currently held solely by Wayne Rooney, who netted 25 for Manchester United. Kane is just two goals away from surpassing this milestone.
Having scored 21 Champions League goals for Tottenham before joining Bayern, Kane’s record-breaking journey continues as he enters his third season with the club. In his next Champions League match, Kane could equal Robert Lewandowski’s record by achieving his 25th goal in just 29 appearances for Bayern.
Kane has already reached a significant milestone, scoring 100 goals for Bayern in all competitions faster than any player in Europe’s top five leagues. He also celebrated his 400th career goal against Borussia Dortmund last weekend.
In international play, Kane recently set the record for the most goals scored for an English player while representing a foreign club. He now has 18 goals for England as a Bayern player, surpassing Gary Lineker’s previous record of 17 while he played for Barcelona.
Bayern’s victory against Club Brugge also featured a goal from 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who opened the scoring. Kane followed shortly thereafter, with ex-Liverpool player Luis Díaz scoring to make it 3-0 in the first half. Nicolas Jackson, currently on loan from Chelsea, rounded out the scoring with a fourth goal off the bench.
