Here are some of the incredible records Harry Kane has broken this season - with more milestones to follow

Harry Kane celebrating.

Even by his own astronomical standards, Harry Kane has hit new heights this season.

The England captain scored in Bayern Munich's 2-1 win at Real Madrid in last night's Champions League quarter-final first leg to take his tally to 54 goals in only 46 games for club and country in 2025/26.

Kane's red-hot form has already seen him break multiple records this season - but he can still reach several more milestones in the coming weeks.

Which records could Harry Kane break this season?

Kane hit the headlines in October when he reached 20 goals for the season quicker than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo ever did. The 32-year-old did it in just 12 games, whereas the Argentinian's career best was 17 matches and the Portuguese's was 13.

The previous month, Kane became the fastest player this century to reach 100 goals for a club in Europe's top five leagues, hitting the mark in his 104th Bayern game.

More records tumbled either side of the new year, as the former Tottenham Hotspur striker passed Jimmy Greaves as the highest-scoring Englishman in official games when he hit his 475th career goal in December - then became the first player from this country to reach the 500 mark in February.

Other milestones are still within reach. Kane is comfortably the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season with 31 goals in only 26 matches and is eyeing the league record held by one of his predecessors at the Allianz Arena, Robert Lewandowski.

The Pole's 41 Bundesliga strikes in 2020-21 remains the most in a single season, which means Kane needs to score 10 times in Bayern's final six matches to equal the record, and 11 to break it.

Lewandowski also registered the most goal involvements in a Bundesliga campaign in 2020-21, when his overall tally of 48 also included seven assists.

Kane has claimed five assists this season, taking him to 36 goal involvements, and if he continues scoring at his current rate he will reach 47 goal involvements, so he could yet break that record, too.

England's all-time top goalscorer, ranked at no.1 in FourFourTwo's list of the best strikers in the world right now, is also set to surpass two of the milestones he set just last season.

Last term, Kane became the first player in Bundesliga history to finish as top scorer in his first two campaigns, having won the Golden Boot twice since joining from Spurs in summer 2023.

He will surely extend that record to three seasons this time around as his closest challenger, VFB Stuttgart's Denis Undav, is 13 goals behind.

Another milestone Kane reached last term was becoming the first English player to score 10 goals in a single Champions League campaign, eventually finding the net 11 times in total.

He matched that tally with his goal at the Bernabeu on Tuesday, and with Bayern well placed to progress to the semi-finals, you would not bet against him breaking his own record for the most goals by an Englishman in a Champions League season.

There is even an outside chance that Kane beats Ronaldo's all-time high of 17 Champions League goals in one campaign, set when the former Manchester United star lifted the trophy with Real in 2013/14.

The Three Lions skipper's prolific form is good news for England ahead of this summer's World Cup, where he will hope to lead his country to the greatest prize of all.

While Kane is unlikely to get close to Miroslav Klose's record of 16 goals at the finals, three goals in North America would see him pass Gary Lineker as the Three Lions' highest scorer in the competition's history.

And if he lifts the trophy on July 19, he will surely be among the favourites to become just the fifth Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or - following Sir Stanley Matthews, Sir Bobby Charlton, Kevin Keegan and Michael Owen - when the votes are cast for the 2026 edition.
