From the moment Harry Kane’s proposed move to Manchester City in August 2021 broke down, his career has been linked with that of Erling Haaland.
World Cup 2026
That’s because the giant Norwegian arrived the next summer and then fired City to a Treble.
Then, Kane was captain of Tottenham. He had no trophies, no silverware and seemed to have missed out on his big move.
Fast forward a few years and the two face off on Saturday as central to their country’s World Cup hopes, only now with a different narrative.
Match Details
No longer is Kane the nearly man.
Since moving to Bayern Munich in 2023, he has twice won the Bundesliga and the European Golden Shoe for top scorer on the continent.
He has six goals already at this tournament.
Tournament Impact

Any comparison of Haaland and Kane has to start with the most important metric in football: goals.
And these two are arguably the very best.
