Harry Kane has made a habit of breaking records throughout his career, especially since joining Bayern Munich in 2023.
After scoring the most goals in a debut Bundesliga campaign in his first year, the England captain hit another milestone with his hat-trick in a 6-1 win against Holstein Kiel.

Kane‘s treble against the newly-promoted side was his fifth already in the German top-flight, and reached the figure in the fewest number of games by quite some distance.
It took the 31-year-old took just 35 games to take home his fifth match ball.
The new record sees Kane shatter the previous best held by 1860 Munich legend Rudolf Brunnenmeier, who achieved the feat after 61 outings back in the 1960’s.
Meanwhile, the England talisman finds himself well clear of Bayern legend Gerd Muller in the fastest players to hit the landmark, with Der Bomber requiring 113 games, placing him fifth on this list.
With hat-tricks against Bochum, Darmstadt, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz during his 36-goal maiden season in Germany, Kane wasted no time in adding to this tally in the new campaign.
After netting a first-half double, he rounded things off from the penalty spot in second-half injury time to seal an historic treble.
And wasn’t the only record which the Englishman set in the rampant victory.
With Kane also grabbing an assist for Jamal Musiala’s first-minute opener, he became the quickest player to reach 50 goal involvements in the Bundesliga when he netted his second goal on 43 minutes.
The half-century, comprised of 39 goals and 11 assists, saw him overtake Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland, who took 42 games to reach the figure during his time at rivals Dortmund.
Haaland enjoyed two-and-a-half seasons at the Westfalenstadion where he hammered home a stunning 86 goals in 89 games across all competitions.

After the match, Kane took to social media to mark the landmark occasion, posting a picture with his match ball.
Alongside it, he wrote the caption: “One for the collection. Lads were at it from start to finish today. Brilliant away win.”
The result saw Bayern maintain their 100 per cent start to the campaign, with the Bavarian giants sitting top of the Bundesliga for the first time in 2024, with three wins out of three.
Meanwhile for Kane, the treble rounded off a perfect week for him individually, having marked his 100th England cap with a double against Finland on the Tuesday.
He will be hoping for another fine goalscoring season, as he looks to help Bayern to lift silverware, and secure a long-awaited first ever trophy of his career.
