England captain Harry Kane is channeling the remarkable goal-scoring legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo as he approaches his 100th cap for England. The Bayern Munich striker will reach this milestone during a Nations League match against Finland at Wembley on September 10.
In the lead-up to the game, Kane spoke about how Ronaldo’s impressive career achievements motivate him. At 39, Ronaldo recently scored his 901st career goal, an achievement Kane finds incredibly inspiring.
Kane, 31, praised Ronaldo for his enduring success and expressed his own ambition to maintain peak performance and continue scoring for many years to come. “I’m in great shape, both physically and mentally,” Kane said. “Seeing Ronaldo reach his 901st goal at 39 really pushes me to keep playing at the highest level for as long as possible.”
Kane’s commitment to England remains strong. “Representing my country is something I cherish deeply, and I’m eager to continue doing so. It’s all about staying consistent and improving. I’m excited about the future and what more I can achieve.”
He also reflected on the impact of both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on his career. “Both players have been huge inspirations. Their hunger, determination, and drive to prove themselves are qualities I admire. Scoring over 900 goals and playing at such a high level for so long is extraordinary and motivates me to strive for greatness.”
