Lewandowski record: Matthäus backs Kane to set a new benchmark | OneFootball

Since his move to Munich, Harry Kane has been making waves in the Bundesliga. But with this season's start, he is setting new standards. Now, Lothar Matthäus even believes in something historic.

The Sky expert expresses his admiration in his current column for the English striker's accuracy. Matthäus believes the Bayern goal-scorer is capable not only of challenging existing records but also surpassing them – including the legendary season goal records of Robert Lewandowski (41 goals) and Gerd Müller (40 goals).

"If things continue like this, he stays free from major injuries, and the team's passion and enthusiasm persist, then I could imagine the records of Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller being broken," said the former World Footballer of the Year.

The praise for Kane is not superficial. Matthäus particularly appreciates his tactical sense and versatility: "He excites people with his actions, but also with his intelligent style of play." Kane operates not only as a classic number nine but also finds creative solutions in collaboration with Serge Gnabry. According to Matthäus, this makes it particularly difficult for opposing defenses to control the captain of the English national team.

Kane's Numbers Speak for Themselves

In the recent 4-0 victory against Werder Bremen, Kane once again demonstrated his exceptional status. With his brace, he reached 100 goals in just 104 competitive matches – a record that is unique in Europe's top leagues since the beginning of the 21st century. No player has reached triple digits faster for a single club. His goals against Bremen – a confidently converted penalty and a precise finish from open play – underscore his efficiency once again.

With ten goals from the first five league games and two goals in the Champions League, Kane has had a season start that is unparalleled. And according to Lothar Matthäus, this could just be the beginning.
