Harry Kane scores in ninth straight Champions League game to close in on Cristiano Ronaldo's record

Harry Kane shows no signs of slowing down. The Bayern Munich striker scored twice in the 3-3 draw against Viking and has now found the net in nine consecutive Champions League matches, a streak only Cristiano Ronaldo has bettered in the entire history of the competition. The English forward, who also reached 450 career goals, was the standout performer in a game his team trailed by two goals.

• Kane scored twice and played a key role in Bayern's third goal against Viking.
• He has now scored in nine straight Champions League matches; only Cristiano Ronaldo, with eleven, has a longer run.
• His brace took him to 450 career goals at club and international level.
• He moved level with Thomas Müller on 57 Champions League goals and surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy.
• The England captain voiced his frustration over the draw and Olise's red card.

Kane's brace turns the game against Viking around

Bayern started the match against Viking on the wrong foot and went into the break trailing 2-0. The comeback began after half-time, with Harry Kane as the undisputed protagonist. In the 54th minute he converted a penalty won by Laimer to cut the deficit, and just six minutes later he headed in a Joshua Kimmich cross to level the score.

The England international still had time to play a decisive role in the move that made it 2-3. In the 71st minute he found Laimer with a lofted pass over the defense, and the Austrian set up Luis Díaz for an easy finish. The game ended level, however, after Viking equalized and Bayern were reduced to ten men following Olise's sending off.

Nine straight Champions League games with a goal: chasing Cristiano Ronaldo's record

Kane's run in Europe's premier club competition is one few players have ever matched. The striker has scored in nine consecutive matches since January, a record only bettered in Champions League history by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star netted in eleven straight games between June 2017 and April 2018.

With his brace against Viking, the Leytonstone-born forward has registered 14 goals and five assists in the 13 matches he has played this season for Bayern and England. Those numbers keep him among the elite attacking players in European football.

Kane climbs the Champions League all-time scoring chart

The two goals against the Norwegian side also helped him continue his climb up the competition's all-time scoring list. Kane moved past Ruud van Nistelrooy's 56 goals and now sits on 57, level with teammate Thomas Müller in eighth place.

450 career goals: the numbers behind a legendary career

The brace against Viking allowed Kane to reach a remarkable milestone: 450 career goals as a professional. Broken down by club, the Englishman scored two goals for Leicester, five for Leyton Orient, nine for Millwall, 280 for Tottenham and now has 154 for Bayern Munich.

Kane's self-criticism despite the MVP award

Neither the goals nor the MVP award seemed to console Kane, who was visibly frustrated by the draw and Olise's red card. The striker was candid when analyzing what happened on the pitch.

Without the red card we would have kept punishing the opponent and finished the game strongly. But this is football, you have to be smart and intelligent to control your emotions. We will make sure we improve as a team. We win together, we lose together and we draw together. We know we have to cut out the mistakes and we will.

Bayern's number nine doubled down on his self-criticism and admitted the team was not sharp in the first half. "We had a bad first half. We started the second half well and fought to come back, but the red card changed everything. We should have won this game with the performance we showed in the second half, but when you make mistakes, you get punished," he said.
