Breaking 40 Goals Since EURO 2020 Campaign
When it comes to goal scoring in major-tournament qualifiers, Harry Kane stands head and shoulders above the rest of Europe. Since the start of the UEFA EURO 2020 qualifying cycle in 2019, Kane has scored an incredible 40 goals in qualifying matches for both the World Cup and the EUROs—a tally unmatched by any other European player.
His nearest challenger, Cristiano Ronaldo, sits eight goals behind on 32, highlighting just how far ahead the England striker has been in front of goal over the past five years.

Kane’s Dominance: A Breakdown of His Impact
Harry Kane’s extraordinary qualifying record demonstrates:
- Elite finishing ability across multiple international cycles
- Consistency, performing at a world-class level year after year
- Leadership, guiding his national team to repeated major-tournament appearances
- Reliability, scoring against top nations and smaller sides alike
From long-range strikes to composed penalties and clinical finishes inside the box, Kane’s all-round skillset has made him one of the most dependable scorers in international football.
How Kane Compares With Europe’s Best
The gap between Kane and other elite forwards is striking:
- 8 goals more than Ronaldo
- 13 more than the quartet of Haaland, Lukaku, Depay, and Mitrović
- 19 more than Mbappé
- Nearly double the tally of many well-known European attackers
This level of output across consecutive qualifying campaigns cements Kane’s status as not just England’s most reliable scorer, but one of Europe’s all-time great qualifying performers.
A Historic Legacy in the Making
If Kane continues his current form, he is well on track to break even more records in the years ahead. His remarkable contributions have played a key role in his nation consistently reaching major tournaments—and often topping qualifying groups with style.
With EURO 2024 and the next World Cup cycle ahead, the striker’s numbers may yet reach historic heights.
