Harry Kane refused to rule out matching Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time international goal record after scoring twice against the Czech Republic to achieve his record-equalling 125th England cap. The Aston Villa striker netted his 90th and 91st international goals in a 3-0 win at Wembley, matching Peter Shilton's English record. Ronaldo, 41, currently holds the global record with 146 goals for Portugal.
Kane, England's record goalscorer, said they would see "how far we can get," acknowledging the long way from his current 50-odd goal tally to Ronaldo's 146. The striker, who has no plans to retire soon, emphasized his commitment to the team as long as he feels capable of helping them, suggesting he could remain active into his 40s.
England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Kane for his exceptional achievement, with the Czech Republic's win giving the national team a record-equalling three wins in their last four Nations League matches. Kane, 33, who scored his first goal for England in 2015, credits his self-belief, hard work, and dedication for his success, vowing to push himself further despite his vast experience.
The former Tottenham player, a contender for the Ballon d'Or in London, remains optimistic about his future, acknowledging he still has room to improve.
