"Harry Kane is always scoring so many goals and he's playing really good and he's doing a great job. And then I saw I did this in 29 games... if I played 34 games, I can only imagine I could even score more! Because of him, I can be more proud of my record now."
"To be fair to Lewandowski, he did miss a chunk of the most crucial part of the season because of an injury. The fact that he still broke the record regardless shows how incredible he was in that season under Hansi Flick. He deserved the Ballon d'Or and more for what he did."
Robert Lewandowski set the Bundesliga single-season goal record with 41 goals in 2020-21, a feat many believed would stand for years. Harry Kane is now threatening this record with an unprecedented scoring rate. When asked about Kane's pursuit, Lewandowski acknowledged Kane's quality but added that he accomplished his record in only 29 games, implying he could have scored more with a full 34-game season. While Lewandowski did miss time due to injury, his comments appear dismissive of Kane's achievement. Ironically, Kane has also suffered a calf injury that will limit his remaining games, similar to challenges Lewandowski faced during his record-breaking season.
