In Munich, Harry Kane’s German chapter reached another remarkable landmark on Friday as Bayern Munich faced Union Berlin. The England captain scored twice, moving to 100 Bundesliga goals in only 98 appearances and rewriting a record that had stood for almost half a century.
A new Bundesliga benchmark
- Kane converted a penalty against Union Berlin to bring up his 100th league goal in Germany.
- He reached that total in 98 Bundesliga matches, becoming the quickest player to the century mark in the competition’s history.
- Later in the game, Kane added another goal, heading home after an outstanding delivery from Michael Olise.
The previous record belonged to Dieter Müller, who needed 129 matches to score his first 100 Bundesliga goals for Cologne in 1977. Kane has beaten that mark by 31 appearances, setting a standard that will be difficult for any future striker to approach.
Numbers behind a major individual season
Kane had already made a defining impact in Germany last season, scoring 73 goals across all competitions. That output has placed him among the leading contenders for the Ballon d’Or, due to be awarded on 26 October.
His latest double further strengthens an extraordinary Bundesliga record: more league goals than matches played. While his immediate future at Bayern remains to be settled, Kane’s form in Munich has kept both club success and the individual game’s biggest honour firmly in view.
