Harry Kane dazzles – and gets Bayern fans cheering. After the 2-1 win in the Klassiker against BVB, some are even calling for him to play in goal.
Things were buzzing on social media: especially on X, users celebrated the 32-year-old as a jack of all trades. One post asked: “When will Harry Kane be Bayern’s goalkeeper? The guy can simply do everything,” and shared an AI-generated image of Kane in a goalkeeper’s jersey.
Another user raved in English: “Left foot, right foot, header all the same for Harry Kane GOAT. No weaknesses. Best in the world.” And another praised in detail: “Harry Kane is really on a completely different level this season. This man is so complete, you find him everywhere on the pitch, at the back near the box winning the ball and distributing it forward, and up front ice-cold in front of goal. The most complete number 9 in the world.😮💨” There was also a short and sweet comment: “Harry Kane is the best footballer in the world.”
The numbers back up the hype: According to Sofascore, the England captain had 70 touches against Dortmund, scored once, provided a key pass, completed 38 out of 48 passes, and delivered 11 out of 12 long balls accurately. He won 10 out of 13 duels, registered 0.22 xG, and was named Man of the Match with a rating of 9.1. Across club and country this season, he has 22 goals and 3 assists in 14 appearances.
On the pitch, the striker shone as a playmaker, workhorse, and tackler – and he described this complete package himself: “I think it was one of my best games, probably even of my career.” The opening goal for 1-0 was just one part of his performance.
There was praise from the top as well. Jan-Christian Dreesen joked: “It’s really a joy. If someone had told us that Harry would get better season after season, we probably would have paid even more.” From the Dortmund side, there was respect: Nico Schlotterbeck called him the benchmark at center forward – “He’s probably the most complete striker in Europe right now.”
Sportingly, everything fit the result: Bayern won the German Clásico 2-1 – Kane scored in the 22nd minute, Michael Olise added another in the 79th, and Dortmund only managed a consolation goal through Julian Brandt. In the league, Munich leads after seven matchdays with 21 points, RB Leipzig follows five points behind.
Kane himself explained his role that evening: “Of course, I’m still there to score goals and help the team that way.” At times, he played deeper – with effect. And he describes his form barometer as clearly as rarely before: “I’ve already said, physically and mentally I feel in the best shape of my entire career.”
