Harry Kane has become the fastest player in history to score 100 Bundesliga goals. He reached the milestone in just his 98th appearance. The record came on Friday when he scored a 39th-minute penalty in Bayern Munich’s win over Union Berlin.
The previous record was held by Dieter Müller. He needed 129 appearances to reach 100 Bundesliga goals while playing for Cologne in the 1970s. Kane has now smashed that mark by a wide margin.
Kane said he was very proud to reach 100 goals in the Bundesliga. He noted that he had also done it in the Premier League. So doing it in a different league meant a lot to him. He thanked his team for helping him achieve it. Bayern went on to win the match 7-0. Kane scored his 101st goal in the second half. Michael Olise scored a hat-trick in the same game.
Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham in the summer of 2023. He has now been there for a little over three years. He scored 36 goals in his first Bundesliga season. He followed that with 26 goals in 2024-25 and 35 goals last season. He has finished as the league’s top scorer in each of his three seasons in Germany. He has also helped Bayern win back-to-back league titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26.
This is not the first major scoring record Kane has broken at Bayern. He scored his 100th goal for the club in all competitions in just his 104th appearance. That came in a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen in September 2025. At the time, it made him the fastest player to score 100 goals for a club in Europe’s top five leagues in the 21st century. He beat the previous mark of 105 games set by Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid and Erling Haaland at Manchester City. Kane has since taken his Bayern tally to 151 goals in 154 appearances.
Kane also had a prolific year last season. He scored 35 league goals and 61 goals in all competitions. Bayern set a Bundesliga record with 112 goals on their way to the title. They also reached the semifinals of the Champions League.
Kane took his international tally to 70 goals during this summer’s World Cup. He is among the frontrunners for the Ballon dOr. The winner will be announced on October 26.
Harry Kane Responds to Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe’s Ballon d’Or Claims After Record-Breaking Bayern Run
Harry Kane has responded calmly to recent comments from Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe about the Ballon d’Or. Both players had publicly made their cases for the award in recent weeks. Kane said everyone has the right to express themselves however they want. He added that it is not his responsibility. He said he does not really like talking about himself. He prefers to let his actions on the pitch do the talking.
His actions have certainly been impressive. On Friday, Kane scored his 100th and 101st Bundesliga goals in Bayern Munich’s 7-0 win over Union Berlin. He needed only 98 matches to reach 100 goals. No one had ever done it faster.
Kane is considered one of the top favourites to win the Ballon d’Or. The award will be given out in London on October 26. Kane said he is just waiting to see what happens. He said he will simply keep doing his thing on the pitch.
Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl also commented on the matter. Yamal and Mbappe had already laid claim to the award and promoted their own cases. Kane did not pass judgement on their comments. Instead, he praised his rivals. He called Yamal an incredible player who had a great season. He also mentioned Mbappe, Michael Olise, and Rodri as candidates. He said there are many players who deserve consideration.
Unlike Yamal or Rodri, who won international titles in the summer, Kane missed out on a major trophy. With Bayern, he was knocked out in the Champions League semi-finals by Paris Saint-Germain, the eventual winners. At the World Cup, he finished third with England.
