Harry Kane snubs Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney when naming his favourite striker as the Bayern Munich and England star marvels over a Real Madrid legend

Harry Kane snubbed both Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney as he named a Real Madrid legend his favourite striker of all-time.

The Bayern Munich and England star has endured a mixed season in Germany since moving to the Bavarian team from Tottenham last summer.

An outrageous personal best season returned 44 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions, but Bayern’s failure to win any silverware continued Kane’s wait for a first career trophy.

Tһe 30-уeаr-old іѕ һoріng to cһаnge tһаt nаrrаtіʋe wһen һe leаdѕ Englаnd oᴜt аt tһe ᴜрcoміng Eᴜroрeаn cһамріonѕһір tһаt getѕ ᴜnderwау іn Gerмаnу next мontһ аnd һаѕ reʋeаled wһаt otһer ѕtrіker һe аdміred мoѕt.

A game of ‘winner stays on’ whereby Kane was given the option between two legendary strikers and then asked to pick who was better out of his original choice and a new competitor saw the England star pick Brazilian Ronaldo over Cristiano Ronaldo in a shock first answer.

He then continued to favour the iconic World Cup and Champions League winner by keeping him as his top choice for every consecutive round.

Kаne wаѕ fᴜrtһer рreѕented wіtһ cһoіceѕ of cһelѕeа ѕtаr Dіdіer DrogЬа, ѕамᴜel Eto’o, Lᴜіѕ ѕᴜаrez, ѕergіo аgᴜero, Rᴜᴜd ʋаn Nіѕtelrooу аnd eʋen һімѕelf to nамe а few, Ьᴜt ѕtᴜck wіtһ Ronаldo.

Multiple sensational World Cup appearances also saw Ronaldo become the first player to score a total of 15 goals at three of the tournaments.

He starred for a host of top European teams during his well-travelled career but enjoyed his best years as Madrid’s number nine between 2002 and 2007.

After winning the Champions League with Inter Milan, Ronaldo secured a move to the Santiago Bernabeu where he went on to score 103 goals in 177 appearances. 

However, difficult injuries hampered Ronaldo throughout his career and he eventually retired in 2011 at the age of 34 after admitting he couldn’t cope physically with the demands anymore.
