Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane has now scored more goals than matches played in every competition this season
This is just absolutely unreal from Kane.
BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 23: Harry Kane of Munich celebrates after scoring his team's first goal during the DFB Cup Final 2026 match between FC Bayern München and VfB Stuttgart at Olympiastadion on May 23, 2026 in Berlin, Germany.

After what was a strong half from the Swabians in the first 45 minutes, Bayern’s superiority shone through in the second half and Kane scored a trio of goals; one with his head, one with his right foot, and one from the penalty spot.
Amazingly, as per Football on TNT (via @iMiaSanMia ), with the England skipper’s hat-trick in Berlin, Kane has now scored more goals than he’s played matches in for each competition this season: the Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB-Pokal. In the Bundesliga, he scored 36 goals from 31 matches on the way to lifting the Meisterschale , falling just five goals shy of Robert Lewandowski’s single season scoring record. In the Champions League, he netted 14 goals from 13 matches as Bayern fell short in the semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain.
Lastly, in the Pokal, his hat-trick in the final against Stuttgart sees that he’s finished the campaign with nine goals from the six matches and he scored in every single round of the competition. In addition to his hat-trick in the Pokal final, he also had braces in the first round win over Wehen Wiesbaden and the second round win over FC Köln. Looking at this ridiculous statistic in isolation would make it seem that it’s far too unreal to believe, but the evidence that’s been in display ever since Kane has arrived at Bayern shows that he’d be the one striker in the world right now to make it happen.
If anything, one of the only shocks of the season, arguably, is that he didn’t get just a little bit closer to Lewandowski’s record in the Bundesliga, but he’ll still have more seasons to try to get that done and all indications have pointed towards Bayern’s No. 9 leaning towards at contract extension at some point.
