Munich, Bavaria, Germany – Harry Kane, the captain of the English national football team, celebrated his latest Bundesliga record in FC Bayern’s colorful Wiesn jersey with a broad smile. No other professional in Germany’s top league has reached the 100-goal mark as quickly as Kane.
Kane’s Record-Breaking Achievement
“I am proud. Reaching 100 goals in another league is a great achievement,” said the 33-year-old striker after the emphatic 7-0 victory against 1. FC Union Berlin. He had already surpassed this mark in the Premier League. “It’s a big step. Thanks to the team, thanks to the club, thanks to the staff. Today’s game was an outstanding performance.”
With this success, where goal scorer Kane was outshone by the outstanding triple scorer Michael Olise at the Allianz Arena, the Munich team moved to the top of the table at the start of the match day. Kane emphasized the importance of the convincing performance: “I think we’ve been waiting for a game like this this season. We’ve won our games and played well, but perhaps haven’t quite reached the level of last season.” He added, “That’s why it was nice to show such a performance before the international break.” Kane left the stadium after midnight with an Oktoberfest heart bearing the number 100.
Kane needed just 98 games for his 100th and 101st goals. The previous record holder and long-time Cologne striker Dieter Müller required 129 matches. The exceptional status of the current Bayern goal scorer clearly demonstrates why the Munich club would like to bind the striker to the club beyond the end of his contract next summer.
Olise’s Stellar Performance
Despite Kane’s goal celebration, Michael Olise was named man of the match. The Frenchman shone as an assist provider and a triple scorer. Coach Vincent Kompany highlighted, “Of course, Michael Olise scores these goals, but he has also worked very, very hard on these finishes in training. Even top players need more than just talent. There’s hard work behind it.”
Offensive colleague Kane praised him, “He started the season incredibly. He was great last year. He had a great World Cup. And he continues that.” He added, “His mentality is to always get better. His level keeps going up. It was nice to see his smile after his first hat-trick. He could one day become the best player in the world.”
This dominant victory showcases FC Bayern’s strength and their key players’ exceptional form, setting a high standard for the rest of the season.
