  "account": "England captain Harry Kane has joined an elite group of footballers who have scored at least 100 goals in two of Europe’s top five leagues. Kane achieved the milestone in the Bundesliga, netting 100 goals for Bayern Munich in just 98 appearances, while previously scoring 213 goals in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur. Only five players have managed to reach this feat across Europe’s major domestic leagues: the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese forward, is among the most prolific members of this group, having scored 311 La Liga goals for Real Madrid and 103 in the Premier League. Zlatan Ibrahimović, a Swedish striker, also reached the milestone in two leagues, scoring 156 in Serie A and 113 in Ligue 1. Edinson Cavani, another prolific goalscorer, scored 112 in Serie A and 138 in Ligue 1, while Gonzalo Higuaín completed the list with 125 Serie A goals and 107 La Liga goals. Kane's achievement places him alongside four of the most accomplished strikers of his generation.",
