Scorer again in Bayern Munich’s victory at Wolfsburg (2-1) on Wednesday evening, Harry Kane continues to panic the scorers since the start of the season and could break a historic record at this pace.
Harry Kane again and again. During Bayern Munich’s victory on Wednesday evening at Wolfsburg (2-1), the English striker (already) found the net for the 21st time this season in the league, in just 15 matches. A maddening statistic which says a lot about the former Tottenham striker’s more than express adaptation in Bavaria.
Kane ahead of Lewandowski
It’s simple, never before has a player scored so many goals in so few matches in the history of the Bundesliga. The current holder of the greatest number of goals in a season, Robert Lewandowski, had “only” 20 goals after 15 games played during his most prolific season in Germany (41 goals in 2020-21). Beyond following in the Pole’s footsteps, Kane is doing better than the former Bayern star. But that’s not all, the Englishman has 38 league goals in 2023 (including his second half of last season with Spurs). This is 4 units more than Kylian Mbappé over the same period. No one does better in Europe.
He knows how to do everything.
Thomas Tuchel on Harry Kane
The Bavarian has other qualities apart from his excellent finishing. Kane also has 5 assists since the start of the Bundesliga season. At the end of the match against Wolfsburg, Munich coach Thomas Tuchel did not fail to praise his striker: “If you look at his goal and the way he played in the second half, he was our first defender. How he holds the ball, follows it, defends. He is a personality, a leader and a high-level player. He knows how to do everything. It’s the complete package. His performances were excellent.”
For his part, Harry Kane is now ready to enjoy his well-deserved vacation: “A perfect way to start the winter holidays! I loved my first months at Bayern and Munich. I can’t wait to rest and then come back in the new year to go again”, published the top scorer in the history of the English selection on his social networks Wednesday evening. Despite the latter’s high-level performances, Bayern is 4 points behind the leader, Bayer Leverkusen, surprising and sparkling since the start of the season. The Bavarians will need their English striker in the second half of the season to achieve their goals in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. “Prince” Harry will try to continue to pile up the goals to leave an indelible mark in Germany, from his first season.
