Briefly

Kane eyes Lewandowski record: Tracking Europe's major goal, assist records
"The Manchester City striker scored in nine of his first 11 Premier League games, notching 14 goals over that time. However, he suffered an uncharacteristic goal drought to start this calendar year, scoring just once in a seven-game stretch between Dec. 27-Feb. 1. It means he almost certainly won't reset the goal record this season."
"Fernandes added five assists in his first four league games after Amorim left the club. However, he would need to continue that form to make his slice of Premier League history in the next 11 games."
"Bayern legend Gerd Müller's German top-flight record of 40 league goals in a season stood for 49 years before it was famously broken by Lewandowski in 2021. However, Kane is well on his way to surpass."
Erling Haaland's single-season goal record of 36 goals in the Premier League appears safe this season. Despite a strong start with 14 goals in 11 games, Haaland experienced a significant goal drought in early 2025, scoring just once across seven matches. This slump makes it improbable he will reset his own record. Meanwhile, other scoring records across Europe's top five leagues present more realistic opportunities for being broken. Bruno Fernandes has emerged as a contender for the Premier League assist record following managerial changes at Manchester United. Bayern Munich's Harry Kane is positioned to challenge Gerd Müller's long-standing Bundesliga goal record of 40 goals, which had stood for 49 years before Robert Lewandowski broke it in 2021.
