Three arrows fired at the same time, why did Kane, Mbappe and Haaland "cheat" together?

When discussing the best forwards in football every season, Kane, Mbappe and Haaland have clearly formed the first echelon.

In the autumn of 2025, a strange scene appeared in European football: no matter whether it was the Champions League or the UEFA Nations League in the middle of the week, or La Liga, Bundesliga or the Premier League on the weekend, there were three people who seemed to have made an appointment in advance - they must score in every game, and they couldn't stop once they scored.

Data crushing: Kane (Bayern/England): 18 goals and 3 assists for the club + national team this season, averaging 1 goal every 57 minutes and participating in 1 goal every 49.22 minutes. He has scored in 10 of 12 games and currently has scored in 8 consecutive games.

Mbappe (Real Madrid/France): 17 goals and 4 assists, scoring 1 goal every 66.7 minutes, participating in 1 goal every 54 minutes. He scored in 12 of 13 games and scored in 10 consecutive games. His career data has become ridiculous.

Harland (Manchester City/Norway): 23 goals and 3 assists, scoring 1 goal every 43.1 minutes, participating in 1 goal every 38.11 minutes. He scored in 11 of 12 games and scored in 10 consecutive games. His career statistics are outrageous.

Fans joked: "This is not a fight for the Golden Boot, this is a fight between gods." There is a high probability that the three will lock in the top three scorers in 2025.

In the current league, Kane (11 goals), Harland (9 goals), and Mbappe (9 goals) are far ahead, followed by Alvarez and Semeno, who scored 6 goals.

The battle between the European Golden Boot and the World Cup Golden Boot

The winners of the past three European Golden Boots are Mbappe (31 goals in La Liga in 24/25), Kane (36 goals in the Bundesliga in 23/24) and Haaland (36 goals in the Premier League in 22/23).

Currently, due to the different progress of leagues in various countries, Faroe Islands striker Clemint Olsen leads the way with 26 goals. However, the weight of European Golden Boot points is more inclined to the five major leagues. Kane, Haaland, and Mbappe have ranked 7th, 11th, and 12th respectively.

This outrageous competition may continue to the 2026 North American World Cup: England has advanced, France and Norway lead the group.

Both Kane (Golden Boot in 2018) and Mbappe (Golden Boot in 2022) are expected to hit again, but Haaland may insist that "it's my turn this time."

Haaland: Being a father brings buffs

Part of the reason why Haaland thinks he is in such great shape is simple: he has just become a father.

"I have never felt so good," he said this month. "Now I can completely relax when I go home and no longer think too much about football. I have to thank my son." He also reminded the media: "Don't forget that Mbappe also started strong, I have to continue to work hard."

Kane: 12 Old gun, upgrade again

The 32-year-old Kane said frankly that this is the best start of his career: "The family has settled down in Munich, and the wife and children are happy. This is very important. The body is in good shape and the experience is richer. Coach Koeman emphasized that kicking the ball near the penalty area makes me more fluent when facing dense defenses."

In the past, I loved to turn my back to take the ball, but now I shoot the ball in the penalty area, taking turns with low balls, half-high balls, and dead corners.

Bayern fans concluded: "Kane doesn't even have to hesitate now."

Mbappe: Leave Paris, restart the system

9 goals in 10 rounds of La Liga and 2 goals in 3 games for the national team. The 26-year-old Frenchman has written the word "transformation" into every game: there are more diagonal insertions without the ball, more diligent retracement and organization, and his shooting skills range from explosive sticks to clever rubs.

After experiencing the ups and downs of Real Madrid's first season, Mbappe is now more calm: "Life in Madrid is quieter, and I can better adjust my body and mind. The team is better prepared, and the tactical understanding between me and the coach is also deepening."

This epic shooter showdown has just begun. In the next half year, they only have to do one thing: continue to kick the ball into the goal, and the rest will be left to time.
