That is 10 matches. Harry Kane's consecutive-goal run in Champions League main-stage matches has finally reached double digits. The penalty he scored in the Arsenal game, played at 9 p.m. local time in Germany on the 21st (4 a.m. on the 22nd in Korea), was his goal in the tenth match. However, this goal did not end up as the winner. After the match, Kane expressed regret over the missed opportunity rather than the record.

UEFA By UEFA's count, this is the second-longest consecutive-goal streak in the competition's history (as of 2026.10.22, 16:00). The top spot belongs to Cristiano Ronaldo, who set the record during his time at Real Madrid, a streak of 11 matches. If he scores in his next main-stage match, he will tie Ronaldo, and if he extends it by two more matches, he will stand alone at first.

Bayern 2-2 Arsenal, Kane 1 goal and 1 assist yet 3 points lost

The flow of the match changed twice because of Kane. FC Bayern Munich match report According to the report, Kane first assisted Alphonso Davies's equalizer. He then scored the penalty himself to flip the score to 2-1. Kane's record was 1 goal, 1 assist. Even so, Bayern failed to win. Arsenal avoided defeat with Declan Rice's equalizer.

The timing of the penalty varies by one minute depending on the source. Bayern's report lists it at the 60th minute, Sky Sports lists it at the 61st minute. What is certain is that they took the lead but failed to hold it. Right after the match, in a club interview, Kane said, "We should have closed the game out."

Kane's consecutive-goal rankings: Ronaldo 11 matches, van Nistelrooy 9 matches

First, it helps to know which matches count. UEFA counts consecutive goals only in main-tournament matches, from the group stage or league phase through the final. Bundesliga and England national team matches are not included. With this goal, Kane is reported to have surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robert Lewandowski, who each held the 9-match record.

Champions League main-tournament longest consecutive-goal streaks (UEFA, as of 2026.10.22, 16:00)

Rank	Player	Consecutive matches	Club and period
1	Cristiano Ronaldo	11 matches	Real Madrid, 2017–2018
2	Harry Kane	10 matches	Bayern Munich, 2026 (ongoing)
Joint 3	Ruud van Nistelrooy	9 matches	Manchester United, 2002–2003
Joint 3	Robert Lewandowski	9 matches	Bayern Munich, 2019–2020
Joint 3	Robert Lewandowski	9 matches	Bayern Munich, 2020–2021

The table has a notable detail. Three of the top five records belong to Bayern players. Lewandowski set the 9-match record twice separately, in 2019–2020 and 2020–2021, while Kane extended his streak by one more match than that.

Kane Ballon d'Or talk, London ceremony on Oct. 26

Ballon d'Or talk also came from a teammate right after the match. Tom Bischof, speaking in a Bayern official interview right after the match on the 21st, said of Kane, "He definitely deserves that award." However, this is only a teammate's assessment and does not indicate voting rankings or a confirmed award.

The ceremony takes place in London on Oct. 26. That is the date UEFA gave when it announced the nominees on Sept. 8, and no winner had been announced as of the end of the Arsenal match. Kane has won the scoring title three seasons in a row since 2023–24, and in 2025–26 he scored 36 Bundesliga goals and a total of 50 goals in official matches.

If Kane scores in his next Champions League main-stage match, his streak will tie Ronaldo's 11 matches.
