Harry Kane is not content with simply rewriting Bayern Munich’s history books — he’s aiming to etch his name alongside Bundesliga immortals. The English striker has made a blistering start to the 2025/26 season, and with 10 goals in just five league matches, his ambitions have shifted toward breaking Robert Lewandowski’s near-mythical record of 41 goals in a single Bundesliga campaign.
Lewandowski’s 2020/21 record-breaking feat, achieved despite missing five matches, was once thought untouchable. But Kane’s extraordinary start has revived the debate — could the Bayern talisman truly go beyond what even Gerd Müller and Lewy accomplished?
Speaking to Bild, Kane admitted the thought has crossed his mind: “Of course, that would be another great record I’d love to have. So far, I’ve scored 10 goals in five games. If I keep that up, it’s certainly possible. But it will be difficult to maintain that rate throughout the entire season.”
That modest acknowledgment belies just how remarkable his form has been. Statistically, if Kane continues at his current pace — averaging two goals per match — he would finish the season with a staggering 68 goals, obliterating Lewandowski’s benchmark by a jaw-dropping 27. Even the most optimistic Bayern fans might hesitate to dream that big, but Kane’s relentless consistency makes the unthinkable feel, at least, within reach.
Kane’s first Bundesliga campaign already produced 36 goals, followed by 26 last season, and his form this term has soared to new heights. His partnership with new signing Nicolas Jackson has given Bayern an unpredictable edge — one that could fuel Kane’s record pursuit while keeping defenses guessing.
Beyond the statistics, Kane’s leadership and composure have made him indispensable to Bayern’s attack. Every touch exudes authority, every finish a reminder of his world-class pedigree. Legendary figures like Lothar Matthäus have even called for Kane to finish his career in Bavaria, while Wayne Rooney recently labelled him “the best England striker of all time.”
For Kane, though, it’s about legacy — and that golden record is now firmly in his sights. Lewandowski’s 41 once seemed immortal. But with the way Harry Kane is firing, history may soon need a new number.
