Harry Kane Scores Twice, Joins Elite 100-Cap Club

Harry Kane became the third player in England’s history to score on his 100th appearance, netting twice in a 2-0 victory over Finland in the Nations League at Wembley. The Bayern Munich striker joined Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton in achieving the feat. Kane struck a powerful shot off the crossbar for his 67th goal and then calmly finished his 68th for England.

Reflecting on his career, Kane expressed pride in reaching this milestone and acknowledged how far he’s come since his loan spells at Millwall, Norwich and Leicester. Before the match, officials presented him with a golden cap and Kane donned golden boots as his family traveled from Munich to witness the occasion, though his youngest son became emotional in the tunnel.

Kane’s international journey started in 2015 when he scored just 79 seconds into his debut against Lithuania. Since then, he has scored 48 more goals than any other England player and contributed 17 assists. He has played under four England managers and scored 61 goals in 81 games under Gareth Southgate. Now with 100 caps, Kane sets his sights on reaching 100 goals for England.

Inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently scored his 900th career goal at age 39, Harry Kane pushes himself to keep improving. At 31, he feels physically and mentally at his peak and aims to maintain his high standards at both the international and club levels. Kane remains driven to achieve more, seeing Ronaldo’s longevity as motivation to extend his own career as long as possible.
