Harry Kane on a par with Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland with blistering start, and Jude Bellingham isn’t far behind
Harry Kane's stunning start to life at Bayern Munich has put him on par with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.
And Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham isn't far behind the striker's record-breaking form, with the Englishmen loving life at their new clubs.
Kane joined the Bundesliga champions in the summer from Tottenham and is relishing his time in Bavaria so far.
The 30-year-old netted twice in Bayern's 2-1 Champions League win over Galatasaray on Wednesday night, helping his side reach the last-16.
In doing so, it took his tally to four goals in his first four Champions League games for Thomas Tuchel's troops.
He also became the third English player to reach 25 goals in Europe's elite competition when he put his side ahead.
