Munich, Germany – Bayern Munich duo Harry Kane and Manuel Neuer are eagerly awaiting tonight’s Champions League clash against Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt. The match could see each of them achieve a new milestone in the competition.
Bayern Munich will host Bodø/Glimt in their opening match of the Europa League group stage. The Bavarian giants are hoping for a strong start to their European campaign.
Harry Kane is now one step away from reaching a remarkable milestone in the Champions League, having scored 54 goals in 70 appearances in the competition.
The English striker needs just one more goal against Bodø/Glimt to reach 55 goals. That would make him the third-fastest player in the tournament’s history to achieve this milestone, after Norwegian Erling Haaland, who reached it in 49 matches, and Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy, who needed 70.
On the other side, Manuel Neuer is nearing a significant milestone in European competitions. He will reach 171 appearances in European club competitions if he plays against the Norwegian team.
This record will allow the Bayern Munich goalkeeper to move into eighth place on the list of players with the most appearances in European club competitions throughout history. He will be tied with Poland’s Robert Lewandowski.
Tonight’s match presents Kane and Neuer with another opportunity to bolster their personal records in European competitions. This comes amidst their long and illustrious careers with Bayern Munich, during which they have achieved numerous milestones and set many records.
