Harry Kane continues to achieve extraordinary things in his Bayern Munich career. The England striker has now broken a record not even reached by Messi or Ronaldo.

Gol Kane's goal against Club Brugge was his 20th goal in just 12 games this season. This record makes him the first player to reach this figure fastest in European competitions.

Ronaldo came close to this record when he played for Real Madrid in the 2014/2015 season, but needed 13 games. Messi has never reached 20 goals in less than 17 games with Barcelona, ​​PSG or Inter Miami.

This achievement for Kane further cements his status as one of the most productive strikers in the world. He has now made it clear that he is the main contender for the 2026 Ballon d'Or.

Harry Kane surpasses Messi and Ronaldo

Harry Kane's scoring efficiency this season is amazing. In 12 games, he scored 20 goals and recorded a host of assists, contributing to a total of 20 goals in 742 minutes of play.

This record surpasses Lionel Messi's record in the 2011/2012 season, a season in which the Argentine superstar performed well and won the Ballon d'Or. However, even at his best, Messi has never started the season as early as Kane.

This kind of productivity has made Harry Kane one of the leading contenders for the Ballon d'Or. His performance at Bayern also shows that he is now reaching the peak of his career as a comprehensive modern forward.

The opportunity for the Golden Globe Award is wide open

Last season, Kane only ranked 13th in the Ballon d'Or voting. However, with his current form, he has a chance to move up significantly to the top ranks.

Now, he has won the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich. If he can lead the club further in the Champions League, his place on the world stage will be even more secure.

Kane also remains ambitious and hopes to lead the England national team to success in the 2026 World Cup. If this mission is realized, he is expected to end the era of Messi and Ronaldo after becoming the next best player in the world.

Work attitude becomes the secret of Kane's success

Harry Kane revealed that the secret of his success is unremitting hard work. He admits that he has always been motivated by the desire to prove he deserves to be at the highest level.

"Even if I stop playing, I'll always have that motivation," Kane said in an interview with the Guardian.

"Deep inside of me, it motivates me to get better when I'm training, when I'm doing tasks on my own—things that I may no longer need to do, but I still want to do. Because I want to prove that there's always room to grow."
