Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: Harry Kane is making his name shine in the Champions League record book by scoring goal after goal. This time, after turning 30, Bayern Munich's English striker has surpassed Lionel Messi in the number of goals in this competition. This time, he is close to sharing another record of Cristiano Ronaldo. Bayern Munich drew 3-3 against Viking in the Champions League match on Tuesday night. Despite being two goals behind, the German club came back into the match with a pair of goals from Harry Kane. Later, after taking the lead through Luis Diaz's goal, Bayern missed out on the victory by conceding a goal at the last minute. Kane reduced the gap by scoring from the penalty spot in the 54th minute of the match. Six minutes later, the England captain equalized the team with his second goal with a header. A new record has been created with these two goals. Kane's goal tally in 40 matches after turning 30 in the Champions League is now 36. Lionel Messi scored 35 goals in 48 matches after the same age. That is, the Bayern striker has surpassed him by playing eight matches less than the Argentine star.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo is at the top of this list. His goal tally in 74 matches after turning 30 is 68. Not only has Kane surpassed Messi, but he is also moving towards Ronaldo in the record for scoring in consecutive matches in the Champions League. He scored against Viking to set a record of scoring in nine consecutive matches in the competition. Kane is joined on this list by Robert Lewandowski and Ruud von Nistelrooy. Ronaldo holds the record of scoring in 11 consecutive matches in the Champions League. If Kane scores against Arsenal at Bayern next week, he will set a record of scoring in 10 consecutive matches. He will then have a chance to equal Ronaldo's record if he scores against Atletico Madrid next month. The 33-year-old forward has been in excellent form this season. He has scored eight goals in nine matches in all competitions, as well as setting up four for his teammates. He has scored three goals and assisted three in his first five Bundesliga matches.
Kane is also having a great time for the national team. He recently played his 125th match for England. With this, the striker sits alongside Peter Shilton in the record for the most appearances for the national team. He has scored six goals in four matches for England during the international break. In total, his goal tally for the national team is now 91.
