Harry Kane breaks Lionel Messi record while continuing UEFA Champions League scoring streak
Bayern Munich and England striker Harry Kane surpassed Lionel Messi's record for the most UEFA Champions League goals scored after turning 30, netting a brace in his side's 3-3 draw at Viking on Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 league phase.
Former Barcelona and PSG star Messi scored 35 Champions League goals in his 30s. Kane moved one clear of the Argentine with his calmly converted penalty and powerful header in Norway, taking his tally to 36 in the same age bracket.
The brace also lifted the 33-year-old to joint-eighth on the all-time Champions League scoring list, level on 57 goals with former Bayern legend Thomas Müller.
The Ballon d'Or frontrunner is very unlikely to stop there.
He has now scored in all of his past nine ties in the competition, netting 12 goals in the course of that run.
The next continental side hoping to get a handle on the unstoppable striker will be last season's finalists Arsenal - local rivals of Kane's during his time at Tottenham Hotspur - when they visit the Allianz Arena in an eagerly anticipated league phase clash next Wednesday (kick-off 9pm CEST).
