Harry Kane continues to rewrite the history of European football. On Thursday evening, the star forward helped Bayern Munich defeat the Norwegian Bude/Glimt with a score of 5:0, scoring a goal in his eighth Champions League match so far.

Having scored another Munich goal against this team, Kane joined the extremely narrow number of legendary football players. Previously, only three players demonstrated the same streak of goals at the most prestigious European tournament:.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Absolute tournament record holder. I have a streak of 11 matches since the 2017-18 season, as well as a streak of 8 matches in the 2013-14 season for Real Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski: Having seen two phenomenal series of 9 matches each, I am playing for Bayern.

Ruud van Nistelrooy: Having scored in 9 matches at Manchester United in the 2002-03 season.

The German giant's victory was supported not only by Kane's record. Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies also took part in the defeat, and Michael Olise's double finally put the finishing touches on the successful start of the European season.

Kane's form is fantastic to beat the bookmakers' favorite to win the Ballon d'Or. The ceremony for awarding the most prestigious individual award will take place in London this coming month.

Last year, the striker scored a remarkable 71 goals in 61 matches for the club and national team. If I manage to overcome, I will become the first Englishman from Michael Owen's watch to win this trophy.

Among Harry's main competitors are Kilian Mbappe, Lamin Yamal and Lionel Messi.

The forward himself modestly assesses his chances:.

" We won all three titles in Germany and fell short of the Champions League. Ale does not lie in front of me, but in front of the elections. This particular season is special for me, but all I can earn is to focus on the current season,” said the England captain.

Apparently, the Company had previously assessed Kane and Olysse’s chances for the Golden Ball.
