Kane’s two goals helped Bayern draw 3‑3 with Viking, moving him past Messi for the most Champions League strikes after turning 30.
Messi logged 35 post‑30 goals for Barcelona and PSG. Kane’s penalty and header in Norway lifted his total to 36, edging the Argentine. For my money, Kane’s consistency outshines any veteran.
The haul also nudged the 33‑year‑old into a tie for eighth place on the all‑time list, matching Thomas Müller’s 57 tally.
He’s unlikely to pause his surge now.
In fact, Kane has found the net in each of his last nine Champions League ties, amassing 12 goals across that stretch.
Next up, Arsenal – last season’s runners‑up and Kane’s former Tottenham rivals – will test him at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday, kickoff 21:00 CEST.
