Kane surpasses Ronaldo and Messi to set new season opening scoring record

In a focus match of the third round of the UEFA Champions League early this morning, Harry Kane scored in the 14th minute to help Bayern Munich beat Club Brugge 4-0 at home.

According to statistics, Kane scored 20 goals for Bayern Munich in just 12 games this season. This achievement has surpassed the fastest goal record set by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in their careers.

According to data from Opta, Ronaldo's best record at the start of a season is 20 goals in 13 games in the 2014/15 season. As for Messi, he has never scored 20 goals in less than 17 games - he has achieved this achievement in 17 games three times.

This data further proves Kane's extraordinary strength shown so far in the 2025/26 season, and he has therefore become a strong contender for the 2026 Golden Globe Award early - although everything will have to wait until he leads the England team to win the World Cup before he can win this highly regarded personal honor in world football.

At the club level, Bayern Munich looks unstoppable in the Champions League, with a goal difference of 10 in three wins. The Bundesliga is even better, with seven wins from seven games, leading the second place Red Bull Leipzig by 5 points.

Therefore, next summer’s World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico will be the test of the quality of Kane’s Golden Globe Award.
