Who has scored in the most consecutive UEFA Champions League games as Harry Kane closes in on record?
Harry Kane is on the brink of yet more goalscoring history after becoming just the second player to score in 10 successive UEFA Champions League matches.
The Bayern München hitman notched 14 times in the competition last term and has already bagged four times in his three appearances this time around -- the most recent coming in the German side's enthralling 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
His effort against the Gunners came hot-on-the-heels of a brace against Viking Stavanger and an opening league phase strike in a resounding 5-0 thumping of last season's surprise package Bodo/Glimt.
The England star's impressive run, which stretches back to January, features a total of 13 goals.
After firing a rare blank against Sporting CP last December, Kane has netted twice against Union Saint Gilloise, once against PSV Eindhoven, twice against Atalanta and further efforts in each of the two two-legged meetings with both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
The only UEFA Champions League game in which he didn't score in across that period was an away trip to Atalanta, in which the 33-year-old was an unused substitute.

Kane's cooly converted penalty against Arsenal in October means that a goal against Atletico Madrid next month will tie him level with the revered Cristiano Ronaldo, who bagged in 11 straight matches across 2017 and 2018.
The Portuguese icon embarked upon his goalscoring blitz in Real Madrid's emphatic 4-1 thumping of Juventuns in the 2017 UEFA Champions League final, before scoring in all six of the La Liga giant's group encounters the following term.
Subsequent goals in both legs of Real's round of 16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain followed, before he replicated that by bagging in both legs of the quarter-final against Juventus -- making him the first player to reach double digits.
