Harry Kane scored in his ninth consecutive Champions League match for Bayern München, matching Robert Lewandowski's club record and keeping the German side's European run rolling. SPORT1 reported that only Cristiano Ronaldo has scored for longer on Europe's biggest club stage. Kane also arrived in Stavanger with the streak already alive after scoring in the opening win against Bodo/Glimt.
Kane's run in Europe
The latest goal came from the spot in the 54th minute in Stavanger, where Kane made it 1-2 at the time. That was his first Champions League appearance of the new campaign, and the finish extended a run that has been building since his brace in January 2026 against Union Saint-Gilloise.
Kane's European output has been consistent enough to keep Bayern leaning on him in the competition. He has scored in Champions League matches against PSV Eindhoven, Atalanta Bergamo, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain during the run, and his 8.51 Champions League rating this season backs up the output. Bayern have started the competition with 1 win from 1 and have scored 5 and conceded 0 in that opening game.
What Bayern get from the streak
The part that stands out is not just the streak itself, but where it keeps leaving Bayern. Kane has 1 Champions League appearance and 1 goal this season, and the team is already getting the kind of European form that can carry a group phase quickly. He also had two assists against Augsburg among his recent goal contributions, which shows he is still influencing games beyond the finishing touch.
Ronaldo remains the only player with a longer scoring run on Europe's top club stage, but Kane's place alongside Lewandowski is the immediate benchmark here. Bayern's next Champions League matches will tell whether the run keeps moving, but for now the record level is clear and Kane is still the one supplying the goals.
