Harry Kane Sets Insane Record Not Even Ronaldo or Messi Achieved

Harry Kane has set a stunning record that not even Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi achieved.

Kane is enjoying an ultra-prolific campaign for Bayern Munich this season.

Before Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, he had scored 19 goals in 11 games across all competitions.

And it took him just 14 minutes to bag his 20th goal of the season.

Kane tapped home from close range to double his side's lead.

His 20th goal in just 12 goals is the fastest it has taken a player to reach that mark from the start of the season.

That means he has reached 20 goals quicker than Ronaldo and Messi have ever managed in their legendary careers, according to Opta.

Messi's fastest time to 20 goals is 17 appearances, having done that on three separate occasions.

As for Ronaldo, he took 13 games in the 2014/15 season in what was his fastest time to reach 20 goals.

Kane, who has scored in eight consecutive games for the first time in his career, has hit 20 goals in just 12 matches, underlining his status as the most lethal frontman in Europe.

He is the first player in Europe's top 10 leagues to do so. For context, Manchester City goal-machine Erling Haaland, who himself is on great form, is on 15 goals this season.

The 32-year-old is also firing on all cylinders for England, having scored three goals across two World Cup qualifiers.

He scored in his country's 5-0 win over Serbia and bagged a brace in their 5-0 victory against Latvia.

Kane scored 41 goals in 51 games across all competitions last season and 44 goals in 45 matches in his debut campaign in Germany following his move from Tottenham.

Given his current form, he could break the 50-goal mark, which he has never done in his storied career.
