Harry Kane is having a season for the ages. The Bayern Munich striker has already racked up an eye-popping 54 goals and 7 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions in 2025/26. But even with those jaw-dropping numbers, the England captain could have done even more damage—especially in the Champions League.

According to WhoScored.com, Kane has hit the woodwork four times in the Champions League this campaign, more than any other player in the competition. It's a stat that highlights just how close he's come to making an already historic season even more remarkable. Every clang off the crossbar or post is a reminder that the football gods can be both generous and cruel.

His form, however, remains unstoppable. In Tuesday's clash against Paris Saint-Germain, Kane added a goal and an assist to his tally, further cementing his status as one of the world's elite finishers. The question now isn't whether Kane can keep scoring—it's whether his individual brilliance will translate into team trophies.

Much of the Ballon d'Or conversation will hinge on two key factors: how deep Bayern Munich advances in the Champions League, and how England performs at the World Cup. Kane is undoubtedly a top contender for the award, but football is a fickle game. An early exit from Europe or a sluggish group stage at the World Cup could quickly shift voter sentiment.

For now, Bayern fans can savor every moment of Kane's incredible run—even the ones that end with a rattle of the woodwork. After all, it's not every day you see a striker this dominant, this consistent, and this close to perfection.
