Champions League: Kane scores twice as Bayern thrash Pafos 5-1

England captain Harry Kane extended his remarkable scoring streak with two goals as Bayern Munich defeated Pafos in the Champions League.

Kane, 32, has 102 goals in 105 outings for the German giants since his £86.4 million signing from Tottenham in August 2023.

He has 17 goals in nine club matches in 2025-26, including 11 in his last five outings, and one goal for England in their 5-0 victory over Serbia this month.

The Cypriots were playing their first Champions League home game, but it only took the German champions 15 minutes to grab the lead, thanks to a first-time shot from Kane after being set up by Michael Olise.

Raphael Guerreiro increased Bayern’s lead five minutes later, thanks to superb work from Nicolas Jackson, before the Senegal striker scored his first goal for Bayern since joining on loan from Chelsea, thanks to another Olise assist.

Kane made it 4-0 after only 34 minutes with a left-footed strike from six yards, but the hosts equalized just before halftime through Mislav Orsic’s magnificent curled 20-yard effort.

However, Bayern restored their four-goal lead midway through the second half when Olise shot into the roof of the net from a tight angle, securing the comfortable victory.

Bayern, who lead the Bundesliga by two points, have now won all nine of their games this season, scoring 35 goals in the process, and are two wins from two in the Champions League.
