100 matches in a Bayern shirt: Harry Kane makes history | OneFootball

Harry Kane celebrated a special milestone during the 3-2 victory in Augsburg. The English striker played his 100th competitive match for FC Bayern – and once again underlined his world-class status with two assists. The raw numbers speak for themselves: 91 goals, 26 assists, 117 scorer points. An average of 1.17 per game – no Munich player has ever started better.

Since his arrival in the summer of 2023, Kane has not only met expectations but exceeded them. This season, he started as strong as ever: a goal in the Supercup against Stuttgart, a hat-trick in the Bundesliga opener against Leipzig, two goals in the cup against Wiesbaden. And now the gala performance in Augsburg, where he secured the win with a perfect cross to Serge Gnabry and strong defensive work.

Overall, kicker has named him Man of the Match 26 times already. Kane has scored 57 of his 91 goals with his right foot, 15 with his left, and 19 with his head. He has scored 22 times from the penalty spot, missing only once – most recently in Wiesbaden, where he still scored the winning goal with a header afterwards.

With this record, Kane could break the 100-goal mark in a Bayern shirt as early as autumn. For comparison: Robert Lewandowski needed 136 matches to reach this milestone, Gerd Müller even 138. Kane would thus become the fastest 100-goal striker in the club's history.

Jackson as New Partner – and Backup

To ensure this development is not halted by overexertion, Kane received support right on deadline day. Nicolas Jackson, on loan from Chelsea, is set to relieve him. The Senegalese is versatile, able to play alongside Kane or on the wings – and brings the advantage of being comfortable with a backup role as well.

Kane himself has no worries about his starting spot, but explicitly welcomes the reinforcement. For Vincent Kompany, Jackson opens up new options in attack. The coach is full of praise for his superstar: “He remains a player who not only scores goals but brings so much to the game overall.”

Hunger for Titles Remains Unquenched

Now 33 years old, Kane still has big goals. Since May, when he celebrated the first championship of his career with Bayern, the “titleless” label is history. But he does not want to settle for that. “I didn’t come to Munich just for one championship,” he has emphasized repeatedly. His big dream: the Champions League with FC Bayern.

That’s exactly where the Englishman will be needed in the coming weeks. The blockbuster clashes with Chelsea, PSG, and Arsenal will demand everything from Munich. Kane’s numbers give hope that the record champions can also compete on the international stage – despite all the concerns about squad depth.

Even Kane himself has recently issued a warning: “It’s probably one of the smallest squads I’ve ever played in.” The club has responded with Jackson, but the squad currently doesn’t offer much more depth.

One thing is clear: Harry Kane delivers week after week, proving why he is worth every cent of the 100 million euro transfer fee. And he makes it clear that he is far from satisfied – the 100-goal mark and the Champions League remain the next big milestones.
