In a recent Bundesliga clash, Harry Kane showcased his prolific goal-scoring abilities, netting his 24th goal for Bayern Munich and contributing to their victory over Borussia Monchengladbach. The England captain’s header in the 70th minute secured the win for Bayern, as they strive to keep pace with league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Kane’s goal tally this season has already earned him a spot alongside legendary Bayern strikers Gerd Muller and Robert Lewandowski, as he equaled the record for the most goals after 20 matches of a Bundesliga season.
The 30-year-old striker, who set the record for the fewest Bundesliga matches (just 14) to reach 20 goals, is now on the verge of breaking additional goal-scoring records. Kane is closing in on Uwe Seeler’s record for the most goals in a debut Bundesliga season, needing just six more to match the 30 goals scored by Seeler for Hamburg in 1963-64. Furthermore, Kane is 15 goals away from matching the all-time top English scorer in the Bundesliga, Tony Woodcock, who scored 39 times for Cologne between 1979 and 1988. Despite his pursuit of individual records, Kane remains focused on securing his first major trophy in Germany this season.
Chasing Bundesliga Goal-Scoring Milestones
While Harry Kane eyes several individual records in the Bundesliga, his remarkable goal-scoring journey may also see him surpass Erling Haaland’s record for the fewest matches to reach 50 Bundesliga goals. Haaland achieved this feat in 50 games, a milestone that Kane could potentially reach this season if he maintains his impressive form. However, breaking Gerd Muller’s record for the most goals for Bayern in a single season poses a significant challenge, as Muller netted an astounding 66 goals in the 1972-73 season. Kane’s pursuit of these milestones adds an intriguing dimension to his impactful presence in German football, as he strives to leave an indelible mark on the Bundesliga record books.
