Harry Kane smashes David Beckham's Champions League record following double for Bayern Munich against Chelsea

With Bayern already in front following an own goal from Trevoh Chalobah, Kane soon doubled Bayern’s lead from the penalty spot after he was brought down inside the area by Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo. And Kane then grabbed his second after the break as he latched onto a Serge Gnabry pass to fire past Robert Sanchez and seal all three points for Vincent Kompany’s Bayern.

Following his goalscoring exploits against Chelsea, Kane cemented his reputation as one of England’s greatest ever players by achieving an impressive landmark. The England captain has now been involved in more goals (53) than any other Englishman in Champions League history, surpassing Manchester United legend David Beckham.

Kane’s brace against Chelsea maintained his remarkable start to 2025-26, with the striker having already achieved double figures for goals this season. The former Tottenham forward scored five goals in Bayern’s opening three Bundesliga games against RB Leipzig, Augsburg and Hamburg, while he also netted twice in the Bavarians’ victory over Wehen Wiesbaden in the German Cup and once in their win over Stuttgart in the German Super Cup.

Kane will be hoping to add to his goal tally when Bayern travel to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon. Kompany’s side take on Cypriot side Pafos in their next Champions League affair on September 30.
