During the 13th round of the 2025/26 Bundesliga, Harry Kane, despite playing only 30 minutes, scored a hat-trick to seal a 5-0 win for Bayern Munich over Stuttgart. This achievement brought the English forward to 100 goal contributions for Bayern after only 76 games.
In modern football, squad rotation is inevitable, especially with a tight schedule like Bayern Munich's. Kane not starting against Stuttgart yesterday might have been a strategic rest decision by the "Red Giants" coaching staff. However, for Stuttgart, Kane coming off the bench was merely a delay before an inevitable defeat.
Kane entered the pitch at the 60th minute, replacing a lackluster Nicolas Jackson. In just half an hour, Kane showcased a flawless finishing skill set: positioning, one-touch shooting, and exceptional aerial ability.
The three consecutive goals came like a whirlwind, completely breaking down Stuttgart's defense. These were not just goals but a strong statement of the quality of one of the best number 9s in the world today. The hat-trick against Stuttgart not only secured 3 points for Bayern Munich but also brought Harry Kane to a statistical milestone that stunned football enthusiasts.
With these 3 goals, Harry Kane officially reached 100 goal contributions (goals plus assists) for Bayern Munich. Specifically, Kane has 79 goals and 21 assists. The most impressive part is that he achieved this in just 76 matches.
To put it simply, Kane averages at least 1.3 goal contributions per game for Bayern (either scoring or assisting). This rate is usually seen only in legends like Messi or Ronaldo at their peak. At Allianz Arena, Kane adapted instantly and immediately became a king.
This outstanding performance in just 30 minutes was rightfully recognized by statistical sites. The statistics platform FotMob awarded Harry Kane a rare rating of 9.6. Such a high score is extremely uncommon for a substitute player. Typically, to score above 9, a player must play the full 90 minutes and influence the entire match. Kane proved that quality outweighs quantity. Every touch and movement in those 30 minutes was highly impactful.
Bayern Munich is charging ahead in their quest for the 2025/26 Bundesliga title, and Harry Kane is the perpetual engine driving this tank. With 79 goals and 21 assists in 76 matches, Kane is not only a successful signing but is on his way to becoming a living legend in Bavaria.
