Harry Kane Becomes England's Leading Champions League Goalscorer

Breaking the Record

Harry Kane made history on Wednesday evening, as he surpassed Wayne Rooney to become England's leading goalscorer in the Champions League. Kane scored the opening goal in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-0 win over Marseille, taking his tally in the competition to 21 goals. This puts him one ahead of Rooney, who had previously held the record with 20 goals.

Tottenham's Success

Kane's goal was also his 25th in all competitions for Tottenham this season, making him the club's top scorer in all competitions. He has been in excellent form for Spurs, helping them to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League and consolidate their position in the top four of the Premier League. His goalscoring exploits have also helped Tottenham to win their first major trophy in 13 years, as they beat Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final in February.

Kane's England Record

Kane's goal against Marseille also means that he is now England's top goalscorer in all major international competitions. He has scored 54 goals for his country, which is more than any other player in their history. Kane made his England debut in 2015 and has since become one of the most important players in the team. He captained England to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and was named in the FIFA FIFPro World 11 in both 2017 and 2018. He is expected to lead England's attack at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Conclusion

Kane's achievements are a testament to his ability as a striker. He is one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe and has consistently performed at a high level for both club and country. His goalscoring prowess has helped Tottenham to achieve success in recent years and has made him one of the most popular players in the world. Kane is still only 29 years old and has many more years ahead of him at the top of the game. He will be hoping to add to his record-breaking goalscoring tally in the years to come.
