Coupe du monde 2026 : Harry Kane dépasse Pelé et entre un peu plus dans l'histoire
Harry Kane continues to write his legend on the world stage. The English striker was instrumental in England's qualification for the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup by scoring a brace against DR Congo (2-1) on Wednesday.
Thanks to this performance, the Three Lions captain has now reached 13 goals in the World Cup finals. This figure allows him to surpass the Brazilian legend Pelé, who scored 12 goals in the competition, and to equal the record of Frenchman Just Fontaine, famous for his incredible total of 13 goals scored in the 1958 edition.
At 32, the Bayern Munich striker continues his ascent among the greatest goalscorers in World Cup history. He now occupies sixth place in the rankings, getting even closer to the absolute benchmarks of the competition.
Ahead of him are still the German Gerd Müller (14 goals), the Brazilian Ronaldo (15), the German Miroslav Klose (16), the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé (18) and the Argentinian Lionel Messi, the current leader with 19 goals.
In excellent form since the start of the tournament, Harry Kane is confirming his status as England's attacking leader. If the Three Lions continue their run, their captain could quickly climb even higher in this prestigious hierarchy and get closer to the greatest names in the history of world football.
