England national striker Harry Kane is challenging a new history by showing off his all-time scoring ability in his debut season in the German Bundesliga.
Kane, who joined Germany's most prestigious Bayern Munich this summer, scored his third hat-trick of the season in a 4-0 away win at rival Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, becoming the first player to score 15 goals in his first 10 Bundesliga games. (15 goals in the first 10 games of the Bundesliga season are tied with Gerd Müller in 1968-69.)
With "newcomer" Kane performing amazingly, soccer fans are already paying attention to whether Robert Lewandowski's record for the most points in a Bundesliga season will be broken.
Lewandowski, who is currently playing for Barcelona, Spain, scored 41 league goals in the 2020-21 season when he was with Bayern Munich, exceeding Gerd Muller's 49-year-old record of 40 goals. Under the assumption that Kane maintains his current scoring ability, arithmetically simple calculations can lead to 51 goals in the Bundesliga in the 34th round system.
Kane scored 30 goals in one season twice when he was in the English Premier League.
According to the BBC in England, when asked about the possibility of breaking the most goals, Kane said, "There is still a long way to go," adding, "Levandowski is one of the best strikers in the world."
But he also expressed confidence. "It's getting better with the game. I'm only 30 years old and I think I still have a lot of time left. I always believe in myself and I think I'll get a lot of opportunities because I have players like this around me," he said.
If he goes beyond Lewandowski, he could go beyond Lionel Messi's milestone. 메이저사이트
Messi scored 50 goals in 37 appearances in Spain's La Liga in the 2022-12 season, which is not only a La Liga record but also the largest score in a season in all five European leagues since the Premier League was launched in the 1992-93 season.
