Harry Kane is enjoying life at Bayern Munich so far after his move from Tottenham to Germany this summer.
He recently scored a club-record ninth goal in his first eight Bundesliga games to help the champions win 3-1 at Mainz.
Last night, the Englishman scored during Munich’s 3-1 away win against Galatasaray in the Champions League.
His goal in Turkey means the forward has now scored 23 goals in the competition, level with former Chelsea star Frank Lampard.
But how much does it take for the striker to become England’s all-time top scorer in the Champions League?

Wayne Rooney currently leads the rankings, while Kane only needs eight more goals to break the record.
Rooney’s 30 goals in 85 appearances have remained untouched since he left Manchester United in 2018.
Raheem Sterling is second on the list with 27 goals in 82 games, while former Red Devils midfielder Paul Scholes is third with 24 goals in 124 games.
Kane has scored two goals in the league so far this season. Before joining Munich, the Englishman scored 21 goals in 32 games for Tottenham in the Champions League.
Another goal for the 30-year-old puts him level with Luís Figo, Gonzalo Higuaín and Scholes.
The victory over Galatasaray now means that Thomas Tuchel’s side have won all three of their games so far in the competition and currently sit top of Group A.
The German side sit at the top with a five-point lead, while Manchester United occupy third place with three points after their crucial win over Copenhagen.
Speaking after another goal in the Champions League: Kane said: ‘It was a very important victory. It was a difficult match against a fantastic backdrop with fans who made it very difficult for us, especially in the first half.

‘In the second half we had more space and we played better. Now we have nine points from three games, which is very good. Hats off to the Galatasaray fans, but also to our away fans who created such a great atmosphere.’
Tuchel’s side host Darmstadt in the league on Saturday, with Kane looking to add to his impressive tally.
In their next Champions League match, Munich will host Galatasaray on Wednesday, November 8.
