Harry Kane has shattered another Bundesliga record as Bayern Munich cruised to victory over Hoffenheim during the weekend.
Undoubtedly one of the best goalscorers in world football, Kane scored two penalties in Bayern Munich’s 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim. The
England captain netted a hat-trick in that contest – his second of the 2025-26 campaign – and it was a historical day for him.
In what was a new record, Kane has never missed from the penalty spot in the German top-flight – with 17 strikes converted.

The prolific frontman is the first player in Bundesliga history to successfully score 17 penalty kicks.
Kane has claimed that he has no “limits”, with the Three Lions superstar refusing to rule out reaching 50 goals in a single campaign for the first time in his career. He is already up to 13 this season.
The former Tottenham Hotspur star broke Hans-Joachim Abel’s penalty-scoring record, with Kane pulling level with the former Fortuna Dusseldorf, Bochum and Schalke star when scoring spot-kick No.16, before then moving into a league of his own.
Kane’s first Bundesliga penalty for Bayern was converted against Augsburg in August 2023, shortly after arriving from Tottenham, with a piece of history being made on that front just four games into his third season at the Allianz Arena.
Currently the all-time leading scorer for Spurs and England, Kane is two efforts away from reaching a century for Bayern – with 98 goals being recorded through just 103 appearances in all competitions.
