On the same Saturday afternoon at the end of October, separated by barely an hour and 850 miles, the two best English players in the world lit up Europe's elite.
As the clock ticked towards 4pm, Harry Kane received the ball in the centre circle of Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena. «Why not?» he thought. The second of Kane's three goals in Bayern's 8-0 rout of Darmstadt will live long in the memory, sailing into the net from 60 yards out, but he was elbowed out of the headlines by one of his compatriots a little after 5pm.
Jude Bellingham had threatened to let his debut Clasico pass him by but bent the biggest game in club football to his will. After hammering Real Madrid level, Bellingham snatched all three points against Barcelona in the 92nd minute.
Incredibly, it was not Kane's first hat-trick for Bayern or Bellingham's maiden stoppage-time winner in all white. The crown jewels of the England national team have been beyond comparison in the top flights of Germany and Spain respectively but how do they stack up against one another?
