omidbasir- Harry Kane marked a significant milestone by scoring a brace for Bayern Munich in their Bundesliga victory over Werder Bremen. The England international contributed to Vincent Kompany’s side’s 3-0 triumph, maintaining a six-point lead over Borussia Dortmund in the German league standings.

Kane, known for his prowess as Bayern’s prolific No.9, opened the scoring from the penalty spot and quickly followed up with a precise strike from outside the box, bringing his total career goals to an impressive 500.

Previously, Kane held the record as Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time leading scorer, netting 280 goals for the club along with 16 during his early loan spells. His switch to Bayern occurred in 2023, where he has continued to showcase exceptional standards, tallying 126 goals in 131 appearances. Kane has not only secured a Bundesliga title but also claimed two Golden Boots during his time in Germany.

On the international stage, Kane has solidified his position as England’s all-time leading scorer, with 78 goals from 112 caps, and he is on track to surpass Peter Shilton’s record of 125 appearances.

Reflecting on his achievements, Kane expressed pride in reaching 500 goals, acknowledging the support of his teammates, coaches, and staff. In a video message, he stated, “For me personally, I’m really proud to reach 500 career goals. I try to appreciate these milestones. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.”

Kane remains focused on future endeavors, stating, “As always, we look forward to the next game, the next goal, and hopefully, I can continue to score and see how far we can go.”

His standing among football’s greats is widely recognized, with former teammate Fraizer Campbell asserting that Kane ranks among the best strikers in the world, comparable to Robert Lewandowski. Campbell noted, “His numbers and goals don’t lie. He has achieved this through hard work and dedication.”

Another former colleague, Michel Vorm, echoed similar sentiments, placing Kane among the top three strikers in European football history, emphasizing his exceptional finishing skills and comparing him favorably to Lewandowski.

Kane is determined to secure his legacy further before retiring, with Bayern Munich reportedly in discussions about extending his contract, which currently runs until 2027. There are also rumors of potential moves to other clubs, as release clauses can be activated in each transfer window.
