Harry Kane, captain of Bayern Munich and England, has named who he believes is the finest finisher in football history, choosing between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Since moving to Germany, Kane has made an impressive impact, securing a Bundesliga championship and clinching the European Golden Shoe with Bayern Munich last season.
Recognized as one of the premier finishers globally, Kane recently participated in an interview with GOAL that put his judgment to the test.
During the interview, Kane was challenged to stay silent while a series of legendary footballers’ names were read aloud, only speaking when he heard the name of the greatest finisher of all time.
Kane Names Ronaldo as the Ultimate Finishing Maestro
The 31-year-old striker remained silent as the interviewer mentioned football legends such as Henrik Larsson, Robert Lewandowski, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Brazil’s Ronaldo (R9), and Lionel Messi.
Only when Cristiano Ronaldo’s name was spoken-referring to the former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward-did Kane break his silence, simply replying: “Ronnie.”
Ronaldo is rapidly approaching the extraordinary milestone of 1,000 career goals, a feat unmatched by any other player in football history.
Although many argue that Messi holds the edge as the superior player overall, Ronaldo’s relentless commitment to scoring goals firmly establishes him among the greatest finishers the sport has ever seen.
