Harry Kane storms into the Bundesliga

Harry Kane, who is currently the top scorer in Europe’s top 5 leagues, began to break records in the short time he worked at Bayern Munich.

The English footballer, who scored a total of 22 goals in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League with the Bavarian team, is among the fittest forwards this season. Harry Kane has already surpassed last season’s forwards in the Bundesliga, with 12 weeks left. Kane has averaged 1.5 goals per game in the league so far this season.

The English striker, who scored 18 times in the Bundesliga, left behind the top scorers of 2022-2023, Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku. Füllkrug, Werder Bremen; Nkunku, for his part, shared the top of the list of top scorers in the Bundesliga by scoring 16 goals last season with the Leipzig shirt.

GERD OVERCOMED MÜLLER

English footballer Kane made league history by becoming the first player in Bundesliga history to score 17 goals in the first 11 weeks of a season. The 30-year-old footballer, who last week gave his team a 1-0 victory in the league with his away goal against Cologne, increased his goal tally to 18 and became the first footballer to reaches this statistic in 12 weeks.

Thus, Harry Kane surpassed Gerd Müller, the legendary footballer of Bayern Munich and the Germans, in the first 12 weeks. Müller had a 17-goal performance in the first 12 games of the 1968-1969 season.

Kane also hit the net 3 times in the first 2 weeks of the league for Bayern Munich, becoming the club’s first player to achieve this statistic in 30 years. Previously, Gustav Jung in the Munich team in 1967 and Adolfo Valencia in 1993 had scored 3 goals in the first 2 weeks.

ENGLISH FIRST BUNDESLIGA QUALIFIER

Harry Kane soon became the leader in the number of goals among English footballers playing in Germany.

With 18 goals scored in the Bundesliga this season, Kane surpasses the Englishmen Jadon Sancho and Kevin Keegan, who previously played in Germany. Sancho was recorded as the top scorer for English players in the history of the league, scoring 17 goals each in the 2019-2020 season with Borussia Dortmund and Kevin Keegan in the 1978-1979 season in Hamburg.

HE ALSO LEFT HIS MARK ON DER KLASSIKER

Kane also managed to become the first player to score a hat-trick in his first match in Der Klassiker, known as The German Classic. The English footballer was the protagonist of his team’s victory by scoring 3 goals in the match in which Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 on matchday ten of the Bundesliga.

The signing of Robert Lewandowski, who became one of the legends of Bayern Munich, was beginning to be mentioned as Harry Kane’s next objective. Lewandowski became the player who scored the most goals in a season in Bundesliga history with 41 goals in 29 games in the 2020-2021 season. The Polish player broke the record of almost 50 years, surpassing Gerd Müller’s 40 goals in the 1971-1972 season.

There are already questions about whether Kane, who was the English Premier League’s top scorer in 2016, 2017 and 2021, will be able to beat Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals. (AA)
