Podolski: Comparing Harry Kane to Ronaldo and Messi Is Unfair
Former German international Lukas Podolski asserts that it's unjust to compare Harry Kane's goal-scoring record to those of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, emphasizing Kane's distinct qualities.
In a recent interview, ex-German national team forward Lukas Podolski addressed the ongoing comparisons between Harry Kane and football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Podolski highlighted that while Kane is a prolific goal scorer, expecting him to match the extraordinary tallies of Ronaldo and Messi is unreasonable. He noted that during their peak years, Ronaldo and Messi consistently netted around 80 goals per season, setting unprecedented standards. Podolski emphasized that Kane's achievement of scoring 40 goals in a season is remarkable in its own right and should be appreciated without direct comparison to the exceptional records of Ronaldo and Messi. He concluded by affirming Kane's status as one of the best strikers in football history, commending his consistent goal-scoring ability and instinct.
