Bayern Munich won the domestic double for the first time since 2020, driven by Harry Kane’s hat trick against VfB Stuttgart. Kane’s three goals brought his campaign total to nine. His nine goals exceed the best single seasons by Thomas Müller (8) and Robert Lewandowski (7) in the same competition. Only Gerd Müller has scored more goals in a single DFB Pokal campaign. Gerd Müller scored 10 goals in 1970/71 and 11 in 1976/77, leaving Kane short of the cup record. The Bundesliga goalscoring record stands at 41 goals, and the cup record remains with Gerd Müller. Kane is positioned as the most likely player to catch and break those records.
"This year marks the first time since 2020 that FC Bayern have won the domestic double, and it comes courtesy of a Kane hat trick against VfB Stuttgart. With his three goals, Kane finishes the campaign with nine in total, more than the best ever seasons by Thomas Müller (8) and Robert Lewandowski (7)."
"In fact, only the legendary Gerd Müller has scored more in a single DFB Pokal campaign. In 1970/71 der Bomber scored 10 goals, and in 1976/77 he scored 11. So Kane hasn't quite conquered every single frontier left in Germany."
"There is still the Bundesliga goalscoring record, currently at 41 goals (scored by Robert Lewandowski in 2020/21) and the cup record, still held by Gerd after all these years. Can Kane catch up and break the record? If anyone can, it would be him."
