Harry Kane had a breathtaking first half of the season at FC Bayern. The Englishman has 25 goals in all competitions. The 30-year-old striker has scored more goals than anyone else in Europe this year. In a global comparison, the FCB star only has to admit defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The football year 2023 is finally coming to an end. Harry Kane’s personal balance over the past 12 months is certainly impressive. In 57 games for the English national team and his clubs (Tottenham and Bayern), Kane scored 52 goals. This means that Kane, together with Kylian Mbappe (52 goals, 53 games), shares first place in the European top scorer ranking in the calendar year 2023.
Second place goes to Erling Haaland, who has scored 50 goals in 60 games this year. He was followed by Romelu Lukaku (Inter/Roma and Belgium). The attacker has scored 40 goals in 60 games.
In a global comparison, there was only one player who scored more goals than Kane and Mbappe in 2023: Cristiano Ronaldo. The 38-year-old Portuguese has 54 goals in 59 appearances for Portugal and Al-Nassr. CR7 scored its last goal of the year last night in Al-Nassr’s 4-1 win at Al-Taawoun. Ronaldo succeeds Mbappe, who scored 56 goals for PSG in 2022. From 2019 to 2021, ex-Bayern professional Robert Lewandowski was the best goalscorer of the year three times in a row.
Of course, it is not “entirely fair” to compare the 20 goals in the current season in the Saudi Pro League with Harry Kane’s 21 goals in the Bundesliga. Ronaldo also scored six goals in a preparatory tournament in the summer, the so-called Arab Cup. However, these are counted as official goals of the season.
However, with his ten goals (9 games) in the European Championship qualification for Portugal, the striker showed that he is certainly capable of continuing to score regularly at the “European level” despite his advanced footballing age.
