Harry Kane Makes History as First Englishman to Score 50 Champions League Goals in Bayern Rout
England captain Harry Kane has etched his name into the history books as the first English player to reach the 50-goal milestone in the UEFA Champions League.
The clinical striker achieved the feat during Bayern Munich’s dominant 4-1 second-leg victory over Atalanta on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena, securing a massive 10-2 aggregate win.
Kane, returning from a calf injury, scored from the penalty spot in the first half before firing home a spectacular second goal after the break.
Since joining the German giants from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, Kane has been in prolific form, netting 28 goals in just 34 UCL appearances for Bayern.
According to reports from The Associated Press, the night was also historic for Bayern's youth system.
Defender Filip Pavic became the club’s youngest-ever Champions League player at 16 years and 58 days, overtaking the record previously held by Paul Wanner and pushing Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal down to fourth on the all-time youngest list.
Bayern Munich, led by manager Vincent Kompany, will now face Real Madrid in a highly anticipated quarter-final.
The first leg is scheduled for April 7 at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Bayern will look to break a nine-match winless streak against the Spanish champions.
