BBC Sport journalist<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n There is an air of inevitability around Harry Kane this season, as he breaks records and sees nets bulge for Bayern Munich.<\/b><\/p>\n The 32-year-old has scored a remarkable 17 goals in nine games for the German champions this term.<\/p>\n And he became the fastest player this century to reach 100 goals for a club playing in one of Europe’s top five leagues in just 104 games, beating the record held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland (105).<\/p>\n BBC Sport looks at Kane’s statistics from the 2025-26 campaign so far and how they compare to some of the most prolific strikers the game has seen. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Kane outshines superstars Lionel Messi, Ronaldo and former Bayern forward Robert Lewandowski when it comes to goals scored at the start of a season. <\/p>\n In fact, only Erling Haaland in his RB Salzburg days has equalled the England captain’s 17. <\/p>\n Serial goalscorer Ronaldo managed to find the net 13 times with Real Madrid in the first nine games of 2014-15. <\/p>\n Eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi’s best tally after nine games of a new season is 12 in 2011-12 and 2017-18 with Barcelona.<\/p>\n The prolific Lewandowski notched 13 goals after nine games in 2021-22 for Bayern.<\/p>\n Haaland scored 17 in nine in 2019-20 with RB Salzburg, though they do not play in a top five European league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Across a whole season, yes, but Kane’s current run has only been bettered twice before by Messi and Ronaldo. <\/p>\n Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo’s best run across nine games came in April 2018 when he found the net 18 times for Real Madrid. <\/p>\n Argentina legend Messi also netted 18 times across a span of nine matches back in March 2012 while in the colours of Barcelona. <\/p>\n Haaland has equalled Kane’s 17 on two occasions – first in September 2019 for RB Salzburg before managing the feat again for Manchester City in October 2022.<\/p>\n Lewandowski struck 16 times in nine games between February and August 2021 while playing for Bayern. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow does Kane’s start to season compare?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
