Harry Kane, who was England's hero once again after scoring a late equaliser against Germany in the Nations League, has broken Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's records.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo set records, but Harry Kane has exceeded them.
Harry Kane has eclipsed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's international goalscoring records.
Harry Kane struck a late goal to secure England a 1-1 draw against Germany, surpassing both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the process.
Kane's penalty-kick goal was his 50th in an England shirt, and he has done so in just 71 appearances for the Three Lions. He is the 72nd player in the history of his country's national team to score 50 goals.
Kane has surpassed Messi and Ronaldo's records by scoring 50 goals for his country in less than 100 games. But the England captain has also reached the half-century mark ahead of Neymar and Robert Lewandowski.
Kane's 50 goals in 71 appearances are fewer than those of Neymar (74), Lewandowski (90), Messi (107), and Ronaldo (114), demonstrating how important the Tottenham striker has been for his country. Kane's 50 goals are more than the rest of his current England teammates combined, demonstrating his dominance on the international scene.
But Kane has his sights set on another England record, which he may be able to surpass before the start of the Premier League season. As Kane closes in on a new record, Wayne Rooney will be wondering how long he will be England's all-time leading scorer.
Rooney scored 53 goals for England, but Kane will match that total with a hat-trick, with so much more to give for his nation. Kane may retire as the Premier League's top scorer as well as England's leading striker.
Tottenham's Harry Kane has the potential to become the Premier League's all-time leading scorer.

And he has no plans to play in the Premier League.
Kane is only 77 goals away from achieving his target, which may seem daunting at first, but at his current rate, he might achieve it in the next four seasons. That, though, will be primarily determined by his future at Tottenham and whether or not he wants a transfer elsewhere.
Kane was extensively linked with a move to Manchester City last summer, which may have increased his goal count even further. Tottenham may now breathe a sense of relief as City have signed Erling Haaland, putting an end to another summer raid.
Harry Kane's decision to stay at Tottenham may have been influenced by Antonio Conte.

That doesn't ensure Kane's future with Tottenham, but it's a possibility.
Tottenham has bought the very experienced Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan, in addition to making the loan deals of Cristian Romero and Dejan Kulusevski permanent. Tottenham are also allegedly in talks with Conte's former club Roma to recruit Alessandro Bastoni.
Tottenham may have re-entered the Champions League, but Conte is a champion, and the Italian is definitely seeking to improve on last season's achievement. After a big drop in form since reaching the Champions League final in 2019, it's an exciting time for Tottenham fans.
