Bayern Munich won the DFB-Pokal with a 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in Berlin, completing the domestic double after winning the Bundesliga. Stuttgart performed strongly in the first half, but Bayern’s superiority emerged after halftime. Kane scored three goals, including one header, one right-foot finish, and one penalty. Kane’s season totals were exceptional across the Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB-Pokal, with more goals than appearances in each competition. He scored 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga matches, 14 goals in 13 Champions League matches, and nine goals in six DFB-Pokal matches, scoring in every round. He also scored braces in earlier Pokal rounds against Wehen Wiesbaden and FC Köln.
"Kane scored a trio of goals; one with his head, one with his right foot, and one from the penalty spot. Amazingly, as per Football on TNT (via @iMiaSanMia), with the England skipper's hat-trick in Berlin, Kane has now scored more goals than he's played matches in for each competition this season: the Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB-Pokal."
"In the Bundesliga, he scored 36 goals from 31 matches on the way to lifting the Meisterschale, falling just five goals shy of Robert Lewandowski's single season scoring record. In the Champions League, he netted 14 goals from 13 matches as Bayern fell short in the semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain. Lastly, in the Pokal, his hat-trick in the final against Stuttgart sees that he's finished the campaign with nine goals from the six matches and he scored in every single round of the competition."
"In addition to his hat-trick in the Pokal final, he also had braces in the first round win over Wehen Wiesbaden and the second round win over FC Köln. Looking at this ridiculous statistic in isolation would make it seem that it's far too unreal to believe, but the evidence that's been in display ever since Kane has arrived at Bayern shows that he'd be the one striker in the world right now to make it happen."
"If anything, one of the only shocks of the season, arguably, is that he didn't get just a little bit closer to Lewandowski's record in the Bundesliga, but he'll still have more seasons to try to get that done and all indications have pointed towards Bayern's No. 9 leaning towards at contract extension at some point."
