Kane Just Did Something Messi and Ronaldo Never Could
Yeah, you read that right. Harry Kane is officially on another planet. The Bayern Munich striker just scored his 20th goal of the season in only his 12th game, a blistering start that even Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in their prime never managed. The record-breaking goal came on October 22, 2025, during Bayern’s crushing 4-0 Champions League victory over Club Brugge.
Key Takeaways
- Harry Kane scored 20 goals in just 12 appearances for Bayern Munich.
- This is the fastest start to a season, beating Cristiano Ronaldo (13 games) and Lionel Messi (17 games).
- The milestone goal was scored in a 4-0 UEFA Champions League win against Club Brugge.
- Bayern Munich is on a perfect 12-match winning streak across all competitions.
- 17-year-old Lennart Karl also became Bayern’s youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer in the same match.
A Start Unlike Any Other
Look, we all knew Kane was good, but this is something else entirely. Reaching 20 goals is a great milestone for any striker in a full season. Kane did it in 12 games. Let that sink in. To put it in perspective, it took Cristiano Ronaldo 13 games to reach that mark in his fastest season. For Lionel Messi, it was 17 games. Kane just blew past them.
And these aren’t just tap-ins. His goals are spread across every competition: 12 in the Bundesliga, 5 in the Champions League, 2 in the DFB-Pokal, and 1 in the DFL-Supercup. He is the engine of a Bayern team that has now won 12 straight matches to kick off their 2025-26 campaign.
The Record-Breaking Night in Europe
The stage was set at the Allianz Arena. The Champions League lights were on. And Kane delivered almost immediately, scoring in the 14th minute to seal the record. That goal opened the floodgates for Bayern, who cruised to a 4-0 win over Club Brugge with other goals coming from Luis Díaz, Nicolas Jackson, and a new history-maker.

A New Star is Born?
But honestly, Kane wasn’t the only one making headlines. In the same game, 17-year-old Lennart Karl came off the bench and scored, becoming Bayern Munich’s youngest ever goalscorer in the Champions League. He snatched the record from Jamal Musiala. What a night for the German giants.
More Than Just One Record
This unbelievable scoring spree isn’t a flash in the pan. Just a few days earlier, on October 18, Kane scored his 400th career club goal in a tight 2-1 victory over rivals Borussia Dortmund. That goal was his 19th of the season, setting him up for the historic 20th just four days later.
Social Media Storm
So, what does this all mean? The internet is already buzzing, with fans and experts reigniting the debate about who the best striker in the world truly is. Kane’s incredible form has thrown his name right to the top of that conversation. He’s not just scoring; he’s making history week after week.
The question now isn’t if he’ll break more records, but how many. With this kind of momentum, anything seems possible. What do you think? Is this the greatest start to a season by a striker you have ever witnessed?
