Harry Kane reaches 100 Bundesliga goals in Bayern's victory over Union Berlin

Harry Kane scored twice in the match where Bayern Munich achieved a convincing 7-0 victory over Union Berlin on Friday. Thanks to this, he became the fastest player to reach the 100-goal mark in the Bundesliga.

Kane scored his 100th and 101st goals in just 98 home matches, thereby surpassing the previous record of Dieter Müller from Cologne, set in 1977, by a full 31 matches. This is another record broken by the England captain during his time at Munich; previously, he had already become the fastest player for Bayern to score 75, 100, and 150 goals in all competitions.

With the brace, Kane now holds an unprecedented statistic—156 goals in 156 games, combining home and international matches for Bayern.

Commenting on the achievement, Kane told Sky Germany: 'I am very proud to have reached 101 goals in the Bundesliga. I enjoyed every minute in the short time I have been here. When I play with these players—Michael (Olise), Luis (Diaz), and Jamal (Musiala)—I have chances.' He added: 'Having more goals than games is obviously excellent statistics.'

When asked about his contract with Bayern, which expires at the end of the season, and whether he will be at the club for the Champions League final in Munich in 2028, Kane replied: 'I am extremely happy here. Talks are ongoing and will continue in the near future. You can see how I play and how I interact with the fans. As for Munich in 2028? Maybe. It will be a special moment.'

Despite Kane's record-breaking success, the main focus in Munich was the French player Michael Olise, who scored an impressive hat-trick against a team with no Bundesliga wins. Bayern looked in celebratory mood from the start, wearing a special kit in honor of the start of Oktoberfest.

Bayern took the lead in the 18th minute thanks to a explosive goal from Jamal Musiala. Alphonso Davies passed to Musiala on the edge of the penalty area, and the German struck a powerful shot. Kane's moment came in the 39th minute from a penalty after a foul on Olise. Kane confidently converted the penalty, scoring his milestone goal.
