<p>The England international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/main-goal-win-titles-harry-kane-tired-trophy-wait-bayern-munich-striker-ambitious-targets-2024-25/blt1abf563f9ab981c8" target="_blank">may not have landed major silverware</a> since moving to Germany, with a barren run on the trophy front yet to be broken, but he has continued to star as an individual. Kane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/exactly-what-happened-bayern-munich-told-why-100m-harry-kane-transfer-unnecessary-ai-expert-prediction-comes-true/blt2b30644e013f3606" target="_blank">registered 44 goals across his debut campaign</a> at the Allianz Arena – with that haul including four trebles against Bochum, Darmstadt, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 2024-25 campaign has seen Kane pick up where he left off, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-criticism-bayern-munich-vincent-kompany-england-captain-hat-trick-stuttgart/bltb251982efd70d3cf" target="_blank">three hat-tricks recorded in just 13 games</a>. Two of those have come in the German top-flight, when facing Holstein Kiel and Stuttgart, while a four-goal showing against Dinamo Zagreb was delivered in Champions League competition.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Kane has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/hat-trick-harry-kane-strange-career-first-bayern-munich-striker-secrets-goalscoring-skill-inflate-numbers/blt10830f943ae2805e" target="_blank">reached six Bundesliga hat-tricks</a> through just 39 appearances, with nobody able to get close to matching that record. Legendary Mullers, Dieter and Gerd, sit second and third on the trebles chart, but required 118 and 127 games respectively in order to claim six match balls.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">39 - It took Bayern Munich's Harry Kane just 39 Bundesliga appearances to score six hat-tricks - by far the fewest needed by anyone in German top flight history.

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Kane has hit that mark in 79 fewer games than his closest challenger, with Bayern hoping that impressive standards can be maintained by a frontman that has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-100-million-bayern-champions-league-defeat/blt92600f79381d6aa3" target="_blank">faced criticism at times for supposedly failing to deliver in matches that matter most.</a></p>
