Harry Kane’s Journey to Becoming England’s Greatest Goal Scorer

Harry Kane, the star striker for England and Bayern Munich, is poised to lead his team in the Euro 2024 final against Spain tonight. Despite a mixed campaign in the tournament, Kane’s ability to find the net is crucial for England’s success in Berlin.

Kane, with three goals in the tournament, is on par with Spain‘s Dani Olmo as the top scorer. His crucial goals against Denmark, Slovakia, and the Netherlands have been instrumental in England’s journey to the final.

Harry Kane has a remarkable record of 66 goals in 97 appearances for the England national team. He surpassed the previous record held by Wayne Rooney during a match against Italy in Naples in 2023.

Kane’s first goal for England came in his debut against Lithuania in 2015. While he only scored two goals in the 2022 World Cup, his impressive six goals in the 2018 World Cup earned him the golden boot.

The striker also has a notable record in the European Championships, with four goals in the 2021 Euro tournament. He has scored against prominent teams like Germany, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Albania.

In 2018, Kane took over the captaincy of the England team from Wayne Rooney. His goal-scoring prowess includes five hat-tricks, with Jimmy Greaves being the only player to have more for England.

Out of Kane’s 66 goals, 22 have been scored from penalty kicks. Besides Rooney, only a few players like Sir Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker, and Michael Owen have reached the milestone of 40 goals for England.

Following his successful stint at Bayern Munich, Kane is now preparing to face Spain in the Euro 2024 final. He is eager to secure a major trophy for his team and add to his remarkable goal-scoring record for England.
