Harry Kane scored his 29th and 30th Bundesliga goals in 'Der Klassiker' against Borussia Dortmund last weekend - the latter coming from the penalty spot. The Englishman has been a revelation since moving to Bayern Munich, scoring 130 goals and providing 31 assists in just 133 matches for the German Giants since his move from Tottenham in 2023. And he now has a very special record well within his sights.
As mentioned, Kane now already has 30 Bundesliga goals for the season. It means he now has 10 games to go, to not only beat his own goalscoring record season in the German top-flight (36 goals in 2023/24) but the historic record for the entire division. He has someway to go but if he can keep up his current goalscoring rate of 1.25 goals-per-game, he will write his name into the history books. Let's take a look at the best Bundesliga goalscoring seasons on record.
Most goals scored in a single Bundesliga season
Leading the way is legendary striker Robert Lewandowski. The Polish forward scored an astonishing 41 goals in just 29 matches for Bayern Munich in the 2020/21 season. In doing that, he overtook now second-placed on the list: Gerd Müller, who scored 40 goals in 34 matches in the 1971/72 campaign for Bayern. Müller also takes third having scored 38 in the 1969/70 season. Kane's initial season in Germany then takes fourth spot, with the Englishman scoring 36 in the 2023/24 season.
Müller and Lewandowski dominate the rest of the top 10, with the only non-Bayern players featuring being Koln's Dieter Müller (34 goals in 1976/77) and Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (31 goals in 2016/17). If Kane continues his current goalscoring rate this season, he would finish the campaign on 43 Bundesliga goals. Watch out Robert.
