Harry Kane reached a century of goals for Bayern Munich with his second strike against Werder Bremen on Friday and claimed a piece of European history in the process.

Kane’s 100 goals have come in just 104 matches, the fastest anyone has achieved that mark with a club in Europe’s top five leagues this century.

Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo needed 105 games to notch 100 goals for Manchester City and Real Madrid, respectively.

Kane, who joined the Bundesliga giants from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, is the 19th man to score 100 goals for Bayern.

“I knew about this record, for sure,” Kane told ESPN. “It was hard not to hear about it or see it. Yeah, it’s a big one, first of all to reach 100 goals for any club is an amazing achievement. A club like Bayern Munich is extra special. And then to do it in record time, one game less, you’re talking about some of the great players — Ronaldo one of the best ever, Haaland on his way to being a great.

“These are great achievements that I can look back on when I’m a bit older, but for now it’s just about enjoying it.”

Kane is under contract with Bayern until the end of next season and coach Vincent Kompany dismissed a question about whether the England captain might seek a return to the Premier League next year.

“I honestly have to say that isn’t a topic for us. We don’t discuss that, we don’t need to discuss that,” Kompany told Sky. “What he’s showing now is how he feels, I believe, and that was another nice moment for him today.”

The 32-year-old has been in particularly prolific form to start the new season. Kane now has 10 goals in five Bundesliga games and 15 goals in all competitions.

After Jonathan Tah had opened the scoring for Bayern, Kane made it 2-0 with his 99th goal from the penalty spot in the 45th minute after being fouled by Marco Friedl. It was Kane’s 18th successful penalty conversion in 18 attempts for Bayern, the longest streak without failing to score in Bundesliga history.

It took only until the 65th minute for Kane to bring up the century as he finished low from the center of the box following a pass from Luis Díaz.

Although he was undoubtedly eyeing a third hat trick of the season, Kane was substituted in the 78th minute to a warm reception from Bayern fans inside Allianz Arena.

The match finished 4-0 after Konrad Laimer added a fourth goal for Bayern late on to stretch their lead at the top of the Bundesliga with a fifth win in as many games.

“We’ve built a lot on what we started last year with the manager, the way he wants us to play, his ideas without the ball,” Kane added. “And month by month, we’ve been getting better. This start of the season wasn’t easy because of the lack of preseason after the Club Word Cup, so to start the season how we have is compliments to everyone involved.

“There’s still a long way to go, but when you’re winning games like this and dominating games it sends a message to every other team, not just in Germany but in Europe as well.”

Bayern will now prepare to visit Pafos of Cyprus in the Champions League on Tuesday.
