Harry Kane has admitted that breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 146 international goals is possible, but the England captain insists his immediate focus is reaching the 100-goal mark first.
Kane spoke about the possibility after continuing his impressive scoring form for England, with the striker now looking ahead to what he can achieve during the remaining years of his international career.
We will reach 100 first… and then we’ll go from there,
Kane said when asked about Ronaldo’s record.
It’s possible, of course. I’ve seen many players in their late 30s still at the highest level.
The 32-year-old has already established himself as one of England’s greatest goalscorers and remains a key figure under manager Thomas Tuchel. Rather than setting a distant target, Kane appears determined to take his international career step by step while maintaining his high standards.
Kane’s ambitions were underlined by another outstanding performance as he scored twice to help England secure a convincing 3-0 victory over Czechia.
The Bayern Munich striker once again demonstrated his importance to the Three Lions, providing the goals that helped England maintain control of the game. His finishing and leadership continue to make him a central part of England’s plans.
Kane’s comments also highlight his belief that he can remain at the top level well into his late 30s. With several years potentially still ahead of him, the England captain could continue climbing the international scoring charts.
Ronaldo’s 146-goal record remains a huge target, but Kane is refusing to look too far ahead. For now, the first objective is clear: reach 100 goals for England, then see just how far he can go.
