Harry Kane Aims For American Football's Career, But Now Focuses On Bayern Munich

JAKARTA - After scoring another goal in the Champions League, England's National Team captain Harry Kane reaffirmed his desire to one day bring his skills to the NFL (National Football League) or professional league football.

Kane scored in Bayern Munich 2-1 over Celtic in the first leg of the Champions League knockout playoff on Thursday, February 13, 2025, early morning WIB.

In an interview with CBS after the match, Kane was asked about his love for the NFL. He is a big fan of the New England Patriots.

He also said switching from football to athletic football was something he had in mind.

"I've been asked about it before and my focus is here, the Champions League, Bayern Munich."

"However, that is something I want to explore in the future. I still feel a lot of years to come," Kane said.

31-year-old Kane has now scored 36 goals in the Champions League, more than any other English player.

His goal against Celtic also continued his abundant personal record, scoring goals past Kasper Schmeichel.

Good for former Tottenham Hotspur club or now Bayern Munich, Kane can't stop scoring against the Danish.

His volley to the back when he wasn't around the corner in the 49th minute was his 19th goal in his career past Schmeichel, more than any other goalkeeper he had ever faced.

"One of the world's best strikers should not be left free in the penalty box," said Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers.

Meanwhile, Kane was just as happy to talk about the NFL as football after the game at Celtic Park.

He said he watched the Super Bowl between Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend and didn't care who won.

However, deep down in his heart, he was not disappointed to see Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes fail in their bid to win their third Super Bowl title in a row, given he is a big fan of Tom Brady.

Kane has previously talked about the inspiration he got from Brady's journey, which changed from a sixth-round option in NFL Draft to seven-time Super Bowl champions.

"All the credit for the Eagles, which stopped the Chiefs from winning three straight wins. I support Brady. So, it's great to see if I'm really honest," Kane said.
