Harry Kane outshines Messi and cements his Champions League run
In the flickering light of the Viking Stadium in Stavanger, the crowd celebrated the moment when Harry Kane safely put the ball in the net after a cool penalty and shortly thereafter headed the equaliser. The 33‑year‑old Englishman delivered not only a goal for the 3‑3 draw, but also an assist for his team's third goal. With that he broke Lionel Messi's record for the most Champions League goals after the age of 30.
Record and Ranking
Kane reached 36 goals after his 30th birthday with his double, while Messi had previously scored 35. The new total catapulted the Bayern striker to eighth place on the all‑time list, level with Thomas Müller, who can also boast 57 Champions League goals.
The Englishman has scored in each of his last nine Champions League matches, netting a total of 12 goals. This run underscores his consistency on the European stage.
