Harry Kane goes into the Atletico Madrid tie on 10 consecutive Champions League matches with a goal. He has 13 goals across that run, and one more strike would move him level with Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 11 straight Champions League games finding the net. Sky Sport Italia's comparison has made the visit to Atletico Madrid more than a routine group-stage fixture.
Kane's scoring run
The raw scoring sequence is the point here. Kane has not just scored in 10 straight Champions League matches, he has done it with volume, with 13 goals in that stretch. That is the form that has pulled him within one game of Ronaldo's benchmark.
Ronaldo's streak stands at 11 consecutive Champions League matches with a goal. Kane can equal it against Atletico, and the numbers behind his recent run show why this is not a one-off burst. Since turning 30, he has 36 Champions League goals in 40 matches. He also needed 66 matches to reach 50 Champions League goals.
Atletico and the wider comparison
Atletico are 16th in the Champions League league phase on 4 points from 3 games, so they arrive with their own European issues to sort out. That does not change the basic framing of the night. Kane is chasing a specific record, and the opposition is a side still trying to stabilise in the competition.
Sky Sport Italia's comparison also puts his broader scoring level into view. Kane finished on 61 goals with Bayern in 2025/2026, a total that sits alongside the kind of season Ronaldo produced at his peak. The more immediate target, though, is much smaller and much clearer. One goal at Atletico would take Kane to 11 straight Champions League matches with a goal, and the record board would list him alongside Ronaldo.
