Bayern Munich remains undefeated in the Bundesliga. The team led by Vincent Kompany won nine matches and drew two matches, which gives 29 points after 11 matches and eight points ahead of second-place Leipzig. In the last round, Bayern defeated Augsburg 3-0, and Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in this match. The Englishman is once again on track to become the top scorer in the Bundesliga, but before the start of the 11th round he had the same number of goals as Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt (11 each).
– It was typical Kane. He had a few situations in the first half where he could have done better. But a player like him can score at any time, and he finished with a hat-trick. We fired 33 shots and were often in the opponent's penalty area, but we remained calm and patient. It's a Bundesliga match, so it's normal that it wasn't easy, said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich coach, in an interview with DAZN.
– We told ourselves at half-time that we have to continue playing like this and create chances. After the penalty kick, the game opened up. We are in a good moment, we feel good and we want to keep this momentum going,” Kane said after the match against Augsburg.
The “OptaFranz” profile on the X portal published statistics indicating that Kane broke another record in the Bundesliga. Not even Robert Lewandowski was able to achieve such an feat.
Kane broke Haaland's record. Even Lewandowski couldn't do it so quickly
It turns out that Kane has already reached the 50-goal mark in the Bundesliga. He did it the fastest in history, needing only 43 matches. In this way, Kane broke the record that previously belonged to Erling Haaland. The Norwegian scored 50 goals in 50 games as a player of Borussia Dortmund. How does Lewandowski fare in this field?
The Pole is not even on the podium in this classification. Lewandowski scored 50 goals in the Bundesliga only after 91 matches. He crossed this line in February 2013 in a match against VfB Stuttgart, won 2-1 by BVB. The website sportskeeda.com indicates that the barrier of 50 goals in the German league was achieved faster than Lewandowski by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (85 matches), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (86 matches) and Arjen Robben (90 matches).
Kane has also been effective in the Champions League, where he has five goals after four games. The Englishman is the leader of the goalscoring classification ex-aequo with Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski (both FC Barcelona) and Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP). In total, Kane has 20 goals and nine assists from 17 games this season in all competitions. Since his transfer to Bayern Munich, i.e. from August 2023, Kane has scored 64 goals in 62 matches for Bayern.
In the next match, Bayern Munich will play at home against Paris Saint-Germain in the fifth round of the Champions League league stage. This meeting will take place on Tuesday at 9:00 p.m.
