Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane has surpassed Lionel Messi's record for the most UEFA Champions League goals scored after turning 30, achieving this milestone in fewer matches. The 33-year-old netted twice in Bayern Munich's 3-3 away draw against Norwegian side Viking on October 13. These goals brought his total to 36 in 40 games since reaching the age of 30, eclipsing Messi's 35 goals from 48 Champions League appearances post-30. Kane's brace initiated Bayern's comeback from a 2-0 deficit, scoring a penalty in the 54th minute and another goal six minutes later. This performance also extended his scoring streak to nine consecutive games, equaling records held by Robert Lewandowski and Ruud van Nistelrooy. He is now pursuing Cristiano Ronaldo's record of scoring in 11 consecutive Champions League matches, with Bayern scheduled to face Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on October 21.
