Harry Kane has matched Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible UEFA Champions League record by scoring in six consecutive knockout appearances. However, the striker's historic goal was not enough to save Bayern Munich from elimination. Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the final with a 6-5 aggregate victory, prolonging Kane's wait for elusive European glory.
Kane became just the second player in history to score in six consecutive Champions League knockout stage matches, matching the impressive feat achieved by Ronaldo between 2012 and 2013. The English forward netted a dramatic goal in the 94th minute during a 1-1 draw against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena. Despite his late heroics and an earlier penalty in the 5-4 first-leg defeat, Bayern suffered a heartbreaking exit. The German giants have been eliminated with a 6-5 aggregate scoreline, sending their French opponents to the final.
Kane famously left his boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich with the primary ambition of securing major European silverware. Although the Bavarians finally reached the semi-finals this season after suffering quarter-final exits in their previous two campaigns, the ultimate prize remains frustratingly elusive for the prolific striker. Kane previously reached just one Champions League final during his time with Tottenham, where his side suffered a painful defeat against Liverpool. Despite enjoying a spectacular individual campaign with 56 goals across 49 appearances, he must now endure a wait of about nine months to resume his quest.
