"Breaking Gerd Müller's record for goals in a single Bundesliga season-40 in 34 games- seemed utterly impossible. The Bayern Munich legend is one of the greatest goal scorers in the history of the sport. Surely he could not be caught. Then a new Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski arrived on the scene and broke it, plundering an incredible 41 goals in 29 games with a goal in the dying embers of the final matchday."
"Asked about this possibility after a Kane brace led Bayern to a 3-0 win in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen, head coach Vincent Kompany deflected the question: "I assume that the league title is much more important for him than the record," he said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "But maybe I'm wrong because I was a defender not a striker [laughs]. He's Harry Kane, he has and will always score goals.""
Gerd Müller's single-season Bundesliga record of 40 goals in 34 games was long considered untouchable until Robert Lewandowski scored 41 in 29 games. Harry Kane has 26 goals with 12 matches left in his third Bayern season after coming close in his first season and falling further behind in his second. Kane has yet to miss a match this season and will likely need to play every remaining game to mount a serious challenge to the 41-goal mark. Vincent Kompany stressed that the league title matters more than an individual record while praising Kane's scoring consistency. Lewandowski missed five games during his record season.
