Harry Kane broke Wayne Rooney’s longstanding record in the Champions League after scoring twice for Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
The German giants were scoring goals for fun against Dinamo Zagreb in their first Champions League fixture with Kane, Michael Olise and Raphael Guerreiro getting in on the act.
And Kane’s double saw him pull clear of Manchester United legend Rooney, netting his 31st goal in the competition.
That saw him become the highest English scorer in the Champions League – and in 40 less games than the current Plymouth manager.

Not only that, Kane was already in a record-breaking mood after beating Erling Haaland’s efforts in the Bundesliga at the weekend.
His hat-trick against Holstein Kiel on Sunday in a 6-1 win saw him reach 50 goal involvements in the German league in rapid time.
The 31-year-old reached the milestone in eight fewer games than Haaland, who first managed the feat while at Borussia Dortmund.
Kane enjoyed a fine solo campaign in his debut year at Bayern Munich after finishing the season with 36 goals in the Bundesliga from 32 games – earning him the European Golden Shoe.
However, Bayern went without a trophy for the first time in 12 years as Bayer Leverkusen claimed the league title, while also missing out on the DFB-Pokal Cup and Champions League.
