Harry Kane breaks another record in 100th Bundesliga appearance for Bayern Munich

Harry Kane scored his 102nd goal in his 100th Bundesliga game on Saturday, the most by any player in the league’s history after a century of appearances.

During Bayern Munich’s 6-1 victory over RB Leipzig, Kane tapped home from Nathaniel Brown’s cutback in the 53rd minute to make it 5-0 and mark the milestone with a goal.

In doing so, Kane ensured he smashed the existing record of 72 after 100 appearances — set by Timo Konietzka for Borussia Dortmund in the 1960s — by a whopping 30 goals.

It was Kane’s fourth goal in six Bundesliga games so far this season, with the England captain having also bagged three in two in the Champions League, as well as a brace in the German Cup win over VfL Osnabruck.

Saturday’s achievement is the latest in a long line of records that Kane has broken since arriving from Spurs in 2023.

In September, during a 4-0 victory over Union Berlin, he became the fastest player to reach 100 goals, in his 98th appearance for Bayern.

In total across all competitions, he has scored 155 goals in 157 games for the German club, winning two Bundesliga titles as well as the 2026 German Cup.

The 33-year-old is close to signing a new deal at the club which would keep him there until 2029, sources told ESPN on Friday. His current deal is due to expire at the end of this season.

Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or for the first time, with the ceremony set to take place on Oct. 26.

Should he play against Croatia in England’s Nations League game on Nov. 12, Kane will also become his nation’s most-capped player of all time, with 126 appearances, surpassing the record set by Peter Shilton in 1990.

He is already England’s top scorer, with 91 goals.
