Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich crushed Werder Bremen 4-1 on Friday, becoming the fastest player this century to reach 100 goals for a club in Europe’s top five leagues.
The England captain won and converted a penalty just before half-time and added a close-range strike in the 65th minute, reaching the milestone in only 104 games—beating Cristiano Ronaldo (105 games) and Erling Haaland (105 games).
Luis Diaz opened the scoring for Bayern with a deflection, and Konrad Laimer added a late fourth to keep the league leaders unbeaten.
Kane has been smashing Bundesliga records since joining Bayern in 2023. He reached 70 league goals in just 67 games, scored the most goals in 50 Bundesliga matches (54), and became the first player to convert his first 18 penalties in the league. He’s also the only player to finish as top scorer in both his first two Bundesliga seasons and net 25+ goals in each.
This season, Kane has 15 goals in eight games across all competitions, including two hat-tricks in five Bundesliga matches. He is the highest-scoring Englishman in Champions League history (42 goals) and has scored against all 20 Bundesliga teams he’s faced—second only to Miroslav Klose.
Since joining Bayern from Tottenham for £100m, Kane has two years left on his contract and insists he’s focused on Munich.
“I’m really happy here, enjoying every moment with the team and the coach. A Premier League return isn’t on my mind,” he said.
German experts and former players have been full of praise. Pat Nevin called Kane’s impact at Bayern “even bigger” than Bellingham’s at Real Madrid, while Raphael Honigstein said: “People in Germany are just in awe of what he does. Kane is unique—selfless, humble, and a workhorse.”
Kane’s sharpness and all-around play have impressed everyone, with Bayern boss Vincent Kompany highlighting his energy off the ball: “He runs, presses, wins penalties, and creates chances. There’s a lot of hard work behind the talent.”
