Kane eyes Ronaldo record after matching England cap mark
LONDON: Harry Kane refused to rule out catching Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the international goalscoring charts after netting twice against the Czech Republic to celebrate his record-equalling 125th England cap.
Harry Kane has set his sights on matching Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the most international goals, after netting twice against the Czech Republic to reach his 125th England cap. The Tottenham striker, who has also equaled the men's all-time record of 125 caps held by Peter Shilton, scored his 90th and 91st goals in a 3-0 victory.
Kane, who currently trails Ronaldo with 146 international goals, insists he has no plans to retire anytime soon. The 33-year-old, who is in great shape and playing at the highest level, said he feels he can still help his team and expects to continue playing as long as he feels that way. England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Kane's achievements, calling him deserving of the stage and praise.
Kane, who has been praised by pundits for his talent, hard work, and dedication, said he still has room to improve despite his vast experience.
