Cristiano Ronaldo, the records Harry Kane could equal or break

Kane needs one goal against Atlético Madrid to equal Ronaldo's record of 11 consecutive Champions League matches with a goal.

Harry Kane, fresh from winning the Ballon d'Or, is chasing several Champions League records held by Cristiano Ronaldo. Kane's immediate target is Ronaldo's streak of 11 consecutive Champions League matches with a goal. Kane currently stands at 10 consecutive matches (13 goals total) and will equal the record if he scores against Atlético Madrid in the next fixture, then surpass it in the following match against Lille.

Kane's streak began in the previous season against Union Saint-Gilloise and PSV in the group stage, then continued through knockout matches against Atalanta, Real Madrid and PSG. In the current campaign, he has scored in all three group-stage matches against Bodo/Glimt, Viking and Arsenal. Ronaldo's 11-match streak, set in 2017–18, spanned two seasons and yielded 17 goals. Kane would need to score four goals against Atlético Madrid to match Ronaldo's goal-per-game average across that run.

If Kane maintains his current scoring rate of over one goal per match through to a potential final, projections suggest he could finish the season with around 20 Champions League goals—surpassing Ronaldo's single-tournament record of 15 set in 2017–18, though Ronaldo achieved that in 13 matches while Kane would have 15 available under the new format.
