Arsenal Have a Chance to Stop 57-Goal Star From Breaking UCL Record Held by Ronaldo Since 2018

According to a report by Football London on October 21, 2026, Arsenal could prevent Harry Kane from moving closer to breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League scoring record when they face Bayern Munich in their upcoming European clash.

Kane has been in outstanding form for Bayern Munich and is now chasing one of the competition’s most impressive individual records. The England captain has scored in nine consecutive Champions League matches, leaving him within reach of Ronaldo’s record of scoring in 11 successive games.

The Bayern striker will have an opportunity to extend his scoring streak against Arsenal, the club he played for as an eight-year-old before eventually developing into one of the most prolific forwards in world football.

However, Arsenal will be determined to prevent Kane from finding the net and extending his remarkable run. Stopping the 33-year-old striker could prove crucial for Mikel Arteta’s side as they prepare to face one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking players.

Kane’s record against Arsenal makes the challenge even more difficult. According to the report, he has scored 15 goals in 22 appearances against the Gunners, demonstrating his ability to trouble the North London club whenever he comes up against them.

The former Tottenham Hotspur striker also enjoyed an exceptional 2025-26 campaign, scoring 73 goals for club and country. His performances have strengthened his standing among the leading contenders for the Ballon d’Or.

Kane has continued to make history in the Champions League, recently surpassing Lionel Messi’s record for the most goals scored in the competition after turning 30. Messi previously recorded 35 goals, while Kane has now reached 36.

The England international has also scored 57 Champions League goals, placing him level with former Bayern Munich teammate Thomas Muller on the competition’s all-time scoring list, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Bayern teammate Serge Gnabry has praised Kane’s mentality and contribution to the team, highlighting his unselfishness, leadership and consistency.

“He always has the right mindset, always goes forward, always leads,” Gnabry said.

Bayern assistant coach Aaron Danks also praised the striker’s versatility, explaining that Kane can contribute defensively, create opportunities for teammates and score goals.

With Kane in such impressive form, Arsenal face a significant challenge in keeping him quiet. If the Gunners can prevent him from scoring, they could halt his pursuit of Ronaldo’s historic record, at least for another match.
