Harry Kane’s incredible start to the 2025/26 season continued on Wednesday evening when he scored in Bayern Munich’s 4-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Club Brugge.
Kane, who was sorely overlooked in the 2025 Ballon d’Or voting, tapped in from close range in the 14th minute to score his 20th goal of the season for Bayern in only his twelfth club appearance this season.
At 32, Kane is in the form of his life. He has started this season better than any other in his illustrious goalscoring career.
Harry Kane reaches twenty goals faster than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo ever did
The remarkable speed with which Kane has reached the 20-goal mark is faster than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo have ever managed.
Real Madrid legend Ronaldo’s fastest first 20 club goals in a season came in just 13 games during the 2014/2015 season.
Meanwhile, Messi has scored 20 goals in his first 17 club games across three different seasons.
Kane, who is said to have an unusual release clause in his contract, took 17 games to reach Bayern’s magical number 20 last season before finishing the campaign with 41 goals.
The former Tottenham Hotspur frontman has now scored at least 20 goals in 12 consecutive club seasons.

How many goals can Harry Kane score this season?
Harry Kane is currently averaging 1.66 goals per game for Bayern Munich this season. If he maintains that incredible ratio throughout the campaign – and stays fit – he could post some truly obscene numbers.
Kane played 51 games for Bayern last season. If he plays a similar number this season and continues to score at his current rate, he would end the 2025/26 season with 84 goals.
That is of course huge as. But for context, Lionel Messi’s most prolific club season saw him score 73 goals in 60 games for Barcelona in 2011/12, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s best was 61 goals in 54 games for Real Madrid in 2014/15.
