Laimer jokes: "Kane's scored 100 goals, I haven't even played 100 games" | OneFootball

Harry Kane has broken the 100-goal mark in a Bayern jersey with his double against Werder Bremen . For teammate Konrad Laimer, the Englishman is not only a phenomenon on the field – the Austrian also took the opportunity for a little joke.

While Kane reached triple digits in goals after just 104 competitive matches, Laimer himself has not even reached 100 appearances for the record champions. The midfield engine, like Kane, moved to Munich in 2023. “That is incredible. He has 100 goals and I don’t even have 100 games – and we arrived here at the same time,” joked the Austrian at the final press conference before the CL duel against Pafos FC, when asked about the top scorer's historic milestone.

And with a wink, he added: “I’m just a few goals short, then I’ll almost have 100 too.”

Besides the joke, Laimer also found serious words for the superstar: “When you see how he works, what he invests – Harry is outstanding as a guy and as a footballer, that’s exactly how he should continue. It’s impressive to see how he works, how much work he puts in behind the scenes – it’s great to see someone achieve this success.”

Laimer also made it clear that Kane impresses in Munich not only with goals: “Harry is an excellent person and an excellent footballer, and he should continue like this.”

Kane as a Role Model

The statements underline the importance Kane already enjoys internally at FC Bayern. The 32-year-old is not only a top scorer but also a role model in terms of work ethic. With currently 100 goals in 104 competitive matches, he has reached a mark that neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Erling Haaland could achieve so quickly at their clubs.

For teammates like Laimer, Kane is thus a perfect example – and at the same time an occasion for a light-hearted remark that shows how good the mood is at FC Bayern at the moment.
