Harry Kane has rewritten the record books in the Champions League with an astounding performance. The Bayern Munich striker scored four goals in his side’s 9-2 demolition of Dinamo Zagreb, setting a new record for the most goals scored by a single team in a Champions League match. This incredible display also saw Kane surpass the legendary Wayne Rooney’s record for most goals by an English player in European Cup history, reaching a total of 33 goals.
Kane’s four goals were part of a dominant Bayern performance, with the team establishing a commanding lead early on. He converted a penalty in the 19th minute, marking his first goal in the match and his record-breaking 33rd in the European Cup. This performance was further highlighted by the fact that he also became the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in a European Cup match.
The 9-2 victory for Bayern Munich surpasses the previous record for most goals in a Champions League match, which was held by Borussia Dortmund’s 8-4 win over Legia Warsaw in 2016. It is worth noting that Liverpool and Real Madrid hold the record for the biggest winning margin in Champions League history, with both teams having recorded 8-0 wins. Kane’s impressive performance adds another chapter to his already remarkable career, showcasing his unparalleled talent and goal-scoring prowess on the world stage.
