Harry Kane has once again silenced any doubters, delivering a season for the ages. The England captain scored a brace against DR Congo to reach an astonishing 72 goals for club and country in the 2025/26 campaign—cementing his place among football's all-time greats.

While England's 2–1 comeback victory secured their passage to the World Cup knockout stages, the real story was Kane's historic milestone. According to post-match statistics, the striker has netted 61 times for Bayern Munich and 11 times for England this season, numbers that reflect not just a purple patch but sustained brilliance across every competition.

A Rare Achievement

Kane now stands as only the second player in football history to surpass the 70-goal mark in a single season. In doing so, he overtook Cristiano Ronaldo's best-ever tally of 69. The only man still ahead of him is Lionel Messi, whose extraordinary 82-goal campaign in 2011/12 remains the gold standard.

World Cup Legacy Grows

His brace against DR Congo also boosted Kane's World Cup record. With 13 goals, he has now moved past Pelé (12) on the all-time scoring list. His five goals in the 2026 tournament also put him in the Golden Boot conversation.

England had fallen behind early and struggled to break down a stubborn DR Congo side, but Kane once again proved to be the difference-maker—turning the game around when his team needed him most.

The Best Season Yet?

When combined with his prolific form for Bayern Munich, Kane's contributions for England have created what could be remembered as the finest season of his career. With 72 goals and counting, his Ballon d'Or chances grow stronger with every England victory. A deep World Cup run could elevate this campaign into legendary status—one that rival the greatest individual seasons ever produced by a striker.

Kane also continues to extend his record as England's all-time leading scorer, adding milestone after milestone to an already glittering career.
