Harry Kane reached the milestone of 150 goals for Bayern Munich on Sunday by scoring the winner in their 2-1 triumph over Elversberg in the Bundesliga.
Kane has continued to be a goalscoring machine for Bayern. He had failed to score from his first two league appearances of the season, but that was always just going to be a blip. Now, his pursuit of a fourth consecutive Bundesliga golden boot has begun.
Having also scored three goals between the German Cup and the Champions League before his first Bundesliga goal this season, Kane’s latest effort brought him up to the 150-goal landmark in Bayern colours.
He has got there at an extraordinary rate, doing so in just 153 games. The 61 of those goals he scored last season have put him in prime contention for the Ballon d’Or.
But in the bigger picture, how do Kane’s exploits for Bayern stack up against some of the other great goalscorers of the modern age?
We’ve compared how quickly he got to 150 goals at Bayern with Robert Lewandowski, his predecessor in the number nine shirt – as well as Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, Lionel Messi at Barcelona and Kylian Mbappe at PSG.
