In the last 11 seasons, Harry Kane has scored at least 17 goals in his domestic league. He only failed to top 20 goals in three of those seasons. In two seasons at Bayern Munich, Kane has claimed the Bundesliga golden boot. During his tenure at Bayern, nobody in Europe has scored more goals than the 32-year old Englishman. In six competitive matches this season at Bayern, Kane has recorded four braces. His only non-scoring match saw him record two assists in a 3-2 win over Augsburg.
The stats go on
and on to improve Kane’s argument as the best scorer in the world right now, even compared to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah, and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé.
After Kane’s two-goal performance in the Champions League against Chelsea, Bayern teammate Joshua Kimmich offered a blunt response to the team’s reaction.
“Yes, we no longer praise him in the dressing room. That’s the standard now,” said Kimmich (via @iMiaSanMia).
Kimmich laughed off the question but Kane has consistently set the bar so high with his performances that it is not uncommon for his fans and teammates to expect a goal or two every time he touches the pitch.
