England and Bayern Munich superstar Harry Kane has added yet another milestone to his glittering career, breaking into the top five all-time European scorers for national teams. The update, shared by Bayern & Germany via X (formerly Twitter), sent football fans across the continent buzzing — with admiration, debate, and a fair share of banter flooding timelines.
The post simply read:
“Harry Kane moves into the top 5 of the all-time European scorers for their countries.”
With 57.6K views within hours, the comment section became a lively mix of respect and rivalry. Some hailed Kane’s consistency and elite finishing, while others questioned how fair it was to compare today’s prolific scorers to the legends of football’s past.
User @Bayern_Ninja praised Kane’s achievement but offered a dose of perspective:
“Love Kane but these stats favor modern players because there are just waaaayyy more matches. No oldtimers here.”
Meanwhile, another fan, @Mocraft123, predicted even greater things for the Bayern striker:
“Lewa and Kane will be top 3.”
That sentiment reflects a growing belief that Kane, currently sitting behind greats like Cristiano Ronaldo and Ferenc Puskás, could climb even higher before hanging up his boots. The England captain’s relentless scoring record — combining club and country excellence — continues to redefine what longevity and consistency look like in modern football.
But not everyone was ready to let the comparison wars rest. One fan jokingly pointed out the absence of Lionel Messi:
“Notice how Messi isn’t there?? 😂😂😂 I know who my GOAT is,” quipped @Eddyonpens, igniting yet another chapter in the eternal Ronaldo vs. Messi debate.
Others used the occasion to give respect where it’s due. @ThoughtR86825 highlighted how remarkable it is that Puskás remains in the top five despite playing in the 1950s — an era with fewer fixtures and tougher travel conditions. “That man was HIMzers,” he wrote.
For Kane, though, the record is simply another step in a career that’s been defined by precision, professionalism, and an almost machine-like hunger for goals. With his current form for both England and Bayern Munich, few doubt that he could soon challenge for the second spot, behind the seemingly untouchable Cristiano Ronaldo, who sits atop with a staggering 143 international goals.
As one fan perfectly summed it up:
“Deserved for sure. But Kane’s not done yet.”
