"He's on 76 goals for England and will draw level with Pele's total for Brazil if he scores today. Here's a look at how the Bayern Munich striker compares to some of the (selected) greats at international level: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) 143 goals Lionel Messi (Argentina) 115 Pele (Brazil) 77 Harry Kane (England) 76 Gerd Muller (West Germany) 68 Ronaldo (Brazil) 62 Diego Maradona (Argentina) 34"
"I could score 100 goals this season, but if I don't win the Champions League or the World Cup, you're probably not going to win the Ballon d'Or. It's the same with Haaland, it's the same with any player. You have to be winning those major trophies. We're in great shape at Bayern Munich so that maybe makes the odds a little bit more in my favour."
Harry Kane has 76 goals for England and needs one to draw level with Pele's 77 international goals. Comparative totals include Cristiano Ronaldo 143 and Lionel Messi 115, with other legends listed. Kane said scoring 100 goals in a season would still likely not secure the Ballon d'Or without Champions League or World Cup victories, and noted Bayern Munich and England are in strong positions. Portugal qualified for next summer's finals with a 9-1 win over Armenia, featuring hat-tricks from Bruno Fernandes and Joao Neves. The Republic of Ireland reached the playoffs via Troy Parrott's 96th-minute winner. England made seven changes: Jude Bellingham stayed in midfield, Adam Wharton earned a first senior start, Dean Henderson replaced Jordan Pickford in goal, Jarell Quansah debuted at right-back, Dan Burn partnered John Stones at centre-back, with Eberechi Eze and Jarrod Bowen on the flanks.
