Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has made some stunning omissions while naming his favourite striker of all time.
While playing a game of ‘winner stays on,’ the England international was given the options between the Brazilian World Cup winner Ronaldo and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, and then asked to pick who was a better choice.
Kane picked the Brazilian Ronaldo.
Kane picked the Brazilian legend as his top choice for the remaining rounds too.
While explaining his decision, Kane, as per Daily Mail, said “If we are going with strikers I am going to have to say R9.”

Kane is now leading the race for the European Golden Shoe, an award that is given to the top scorer in Europe in a particular season.
The 30-year-old scored his last goal of the season in Bayern Munich’s 3-1 defeat against VfB Stuttgart. It took his Bundesliga tally to 36 goals for the season.
Kane is currently ahead of other prolific strikers like Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, French star Kylian Mbappe and Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martínez.
Kane was further given choices of Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, Luis Suarez, Sergio Aguero, Ruud van Nistelrooy and even himself but the former Tottenham Hotspur goal scorer stuck with Ronaldo.
Ronaldo capped off his illustrious career with a spectacular tally of 298 club goals in 454 appearances.
He was part of the Brazil teams that won two World Cup titles in 1994 and 2002.

Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or award twice during his career and also became the first footballer to score 15 goals at the World Cup.
He achieved this feat by participating in the competition three times.
In club football, Ronaldo won the Champions League at Inter Milan. Later, he made a move to European giants Real Madrid where he netted 103 goals in 177 matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, is currently plying his trade for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr. Having joined the Saudi Pro League side last season, he has found the back of the net 67 times.
With five Ballon d’Or titles under his belt, the Portuguese icon is one of the greatest goal-scorers ever to grace the football pitch.
