Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. The UEFA Champions League has been a particularly notable competition for Ronaldo, who has achieved numerous accolades throughout his career. However, his record for the most consecutive matches with goals has been surpassed by England's Harry Kane.

Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for 11 consecutive championships, a feat he achieved in the 2017-18 season. This milestone surpassed the previous records of 9 consecutive championships held by Robert Lewandowski and Ruud van Nistelrooy, with Harry Kane now also in contention for the title.

In the second match of the current Champions League edition, Bayern Munich played to a 3-3 draw against Viking. Meanwhile, Harry Kane achieved a notable milestone, equaling the record of scoring in 9 consecutive Champions League matches.

In the 54th minute of the match, Harry Kane converted a penalty to score his first goal of the night. He then added a second goal just two minutes later. However, this was not enough for Germany to secure a three-point victory at the Norwegian Viking Stadium.

Harry Kane's streak of consecutive games with a goal resumed in January 2026, marking the start of a notable run. During the league phase, he scored two goals against Royale Union SG. The following day, Kane added to his tally by netting a goal against PSV Eindhoven, effectively concluding the league phase.

In the semi-finals of the competition, the player achieved a notable performance, scoring two goals each for Atalanta, Real Madrid, and PSG.

In the opening match, Harry Kane scored a goal for FK Bodo/Glimt, while also netting two goals in the final match against Viking FK, which Bayern Munich played.
