Harry Kane achieved a historic milestone on Tuesday evening, becoming the first ever British player to reach the impressive feat of scoring 50 goals in UEFA club competitions. This remarkable achievement occurred when Kane skillfully executed a diving header, propelling Bayern Munich to a 1-0 lead against Lazio.

Not content with just one goal, Kane went on to score his 51st continental club goal later in the game, securing a resounding 3-0 victory. It is worth noting that Kane’s 51 goals have been amassed over the course of 84 appearances. During his time at former club Tottenham Hotspur, he found the back of the net 45 times in 76 European matches, and since joining Bayern, he has already netted six goals in eight Champions League fixtures.

Kane’s exceptional goal-scoring prowess places him in an elite group of British players who have achieved at least 40 club goals in Europe. Alongside him are the legendary Steven Gerrard, who scored 41 goals for Liverpool, and the former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who notched up 40 goals for both Manchester United and Everton. Interestingly, despite his status as a Wales icon, Gareth Bale falls short in comparison, having scored only 24 goals throughout his Champions League and Europa League career, with three of those goals coming in UEFA Champions League finals for Real Madrid.
