"When you're at a club like Tottenham, we've done well and I've done well, but I want to be [ Cristiano Ronaldo] or [ Lionel Messi]."
"When Jamal's playing, it's a bit different. Getting the ball off defenders, driving, when we were playing together, it was better for him to go and do that,"
"This season, it's allowed me to play a little bit deeper, use my qualities in that sense of turning and playing it forward, then arriving later in the box."
Harry Kane began the 2025-26 campaign with Bayern Munich scoring 18 goals in 10 matches, output comparable to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Kane remains a prolific finisher while increasingly influencing buildup play by occupying different phases of attacks. Injuries to Jamal Musiala created a creative void that Kane has helped fill by dropping deeper, turning defenders, progressing the ball forward and arriving late into the box. The evolution shows Kane contributing at the start, middle and end of Bayern’s attacks. The transformation boosts his club impact and raises implications for England’s approach at the 2026 World Cup and his long-term role.
