    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Only Barcelona star Raphinha has scored more goals than Kane in this season's Champions League as the England captain continues to enjoy another prolific campaign. Kane is currently top of the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 21 from just 23 games played, five clear of nearest challenger Patrik Schick. In total, Kane has 32 in all competitions for Bayern this season, but does admit he's struggling to keep track of his ever-increasing tally.

  • WHAT KANE SAID

    Kane was quizzed on his goalscoring record this season and told TNT Sports: "I know I've got 10 in the Champions League now, a nice number to have, but hopefully a few more to go."

    The Bayern talisman added to reporters: "To beat this team 5-0 over two legs shows the type of team that we are. We're in the quarterfinal now where Bayern Munich should be and we want to keep pushing. We just want to enjoy this because it's not easy. Especially when you play your domestic rivals, there's a lot of pressure, there's a lot of intensity that goes into it."
