The resident penalty taker of Bayern Munich strikes (it into the back of net) again.
Penalties and Harry Kane are a match made in heaven (read: Allianz Arena). The star has taken virtually every single penalty for Bayern since he joined. He is a prolific scorer from the spot and his technique leaves no room for doubt in his abilities.
But what is surprising is the numbers behind this.
According to Deutsche Welle, as of now, following the win against Werder Bremen, Kane has taken and subsequently converted
a whopping TWENTY TWO penalties in the Bundesliga.
That’s right.
Further, it is interesting to note that Kane has also converted every single penalty for Bayern in the Champions League. The only time he has missed from the spot was in the DFB-Pokal against Wehen Wiesbaden last August.
Kane prefers to shoot towards the left and the right in his penalties, but has picked a preference towards the left corner of late, as noted in the last few games where he’s had ample penalty scoring opportunities.
Call him a penalty merchant, but one thing’s for sure. He’s one of the finest strikers Bayern’s had, and that to me, is good enough.
