  "account": "Harry Kane is inching closer to shattering Cristiano Ronaldo's UEFA Champions League scoring record. The English striker scored twice in a surprising 3-3 draw against Norwegian club Viking FK on Tuesday, bringing Bayern Munich back into contention. Kane's goals were instrumental in the team's comeback, as they were trailing 2-0 early in the match.\n\nIf Kane replicates his recent performance over the next three games against Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and French club LOSC, he could tie Ronaldo's record for most consecutive Champions League goals. Currently, Ronaldo holds the record with 11 consecutive goals in the competition during the 2017-18 season. Kane will need to score more goals to surpass Ronaldo, but three goals in the remaining matches would be enough to break the overall record.\n\nWhile Kane's streak may not be as long as Ronaldo's, breaking this record would solidify his position as one of the greatest strikers in the world. The upcoming matches will be crucial for Kane to prove his worth and potentially etch his name alongside football legends in the record books.",
  "summary": "After two goals in the shocking draw against Viking FK, Harry Kane is potentially three games away from breaking one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League records. Cristiano Ronaldo’s elite legacy in the UEFA Champions league forms the bulwark of his GOAT candidacy.",
