Ever since joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, Harry Kane has gone on to tally 85 goals and 26 assists from a total of 96 appearances across all competitions. He finally broke the club title duck last season by winning the Bundesliga title with Bayern and securing a second consecutive Torjägerkanone after finishing with 26 league goals. Despite have lost out to what was an incredibly impressive Bayer Leverkusen side under Xabi Alonso in the 2023/24 season, Kane had
one of the best scoring seasons of his life, having netted 36 league goals and 44 across all competitions.
Case in point, Kane has had absolutely zero difficulty transitioning from the Premier League to the Bundesliga and he has casually set scoring records in his first two seasons with the German Rekordmeister, though he’s still out for Robert Lewandowski’s single season Bundesliga record of 41 goals.
Of the 85 goals that Kane has scored for Bayern, there have been some absolute beauties as well as match winners, momentum shifters, and goals with his right foot, left foot, and head. On the striker’s Cleats Club app (via @iMiaSanMia), the England skipper answered the question of what his favorite Bayern goal is thus far that he’s scored, and the striker couldn’t decidec from two that stick out from the rest for him.
“I’d say it’s between two. The halfway line goal against Darmstadt and my third goal against Augsburg, where Leon played it over the top and I took my touch in the air and then headed it home. Technically it was probably one of the best goals I’ve scored in my career. So yeah probably between these two,“ Kane explained. The pair of goals are certainly worthy of being in his top 10 highlight reel, at least for his Bayern career so far, and they’ll both go down in the annals of Bundesliga history.
The halfway goal scored against Darmstadt in the 2023/24 season rivals David Beckham’s infamous half-field strike against Wimbledon back in 1996, but Kane was, without a trace of doubt, several steps further back than Beckham was when he struck the ball. At the tie, Kane’s wonder strike was one of three that he scored in Bayern’s 8-0 routing of Darmstadt, who are back in the Bundesliga this season.
For the goal against Augsburg from last season, Kane essentially did his best impression of the Bundesliga logo to take a touch to control the ball before calmly heading it past keeper Nediljko Labrović. What made that goal all the more special for Kane was that it completed his hat-trick on that particular evening.
