Remember when people questioned whether Harry Kane could cut it in the Bundesliga? Remember all the talk about him being too slow, too one-dimensional, too English?
Well folks, Kane just keeps proving everyone wrong. With his goal against Union Berlin today, the English striker is now the 10th highest goal scorer in Bayern Munich history.
Let that sink in for a moment. Bayern Munich. One of the biggest clubs in world football. A team with over 120 years of history. And Harry Kane, in his second season, is already in the top 10 all-time scorers.
This is a club that's had Gerd Müller, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Robert Lewandowski. Legends of the game. And here comes Kane, scoring at a pace that rivals any of them.
The Bayern faithful were skeptical at first. After all, this was the guy who couldn't win trophies at Tottenham. The guy who'd never played outside England. Could he adapt? Could he handle the pressure?
The answer has been a resounding yes. Kane scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 demolition of Union Berlin, taking his tally to levels that have him climbing the all-time charts faster than almost anyone in Bayern history.
What makes this even more remarkable is that he did it while adapting to a new league, a new language, a new culture. Most strikers need time to adjust. Kane hit the ground running and hasn't stopped.
The skeptics said he was too old at 30 when he made the move. Too set in his ways. But what they missed was the hunger. After years of coming close at Spurs, wanted silverware. And in , he's found the platform to chase it.
