Since joining Bayern Munich in 2023, Harry Kane has scored more goals (106) than any other player in Europe. His critics will claim that he is a penalty kick merchant, but the numbers tell a different tale. Only 25 of those goals were from the penalty spot.
In Bayern’s 3-2 DFL-Pokal win over SV Wehen Wiesbaden, Kane converted his 31st consecutive penalty kick to open the scoring line. In the 76th minute, Kane stepped up again to retake the lead but was stymied by Wehen goalkeeper, Florian Stritzel.

Kane’s streak of the century included penalty kick goals against Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Eintracht Frankfurt, Italy, Netherlands, and many more. Kane will surely be disappointed to end his run but also thrilled to deliver the game-winning header in stoppage time to advance Bayern to the second round of the DFB-Pokal.
