Following Jamal Musiala’s equalizer to Tim Skarke’s initial goal for Darmstadt, the England captain found the net just before halftime, securing a 2-1 lead for Bayern Munich and etching his name in German football history. This pivotal goal on Saturday propelled him past Uwe Seeler’s previous record of 30 goals in a debut Bundesliga season.

Kane has undeniably justified the £82 million ($100m) investment Bayern made to acquire him from Tottenham last summer. Continuously rewriting records, he now sets his sights on surpassing Robert Lewandowski’s remarkable tally of 41 goals in a single season (achieved in 2020/21) for Bayern.

Despite being 30 years old, Kane has amassed an impressive total of 37 goals and 11 assists across all competitions this season. However, despite his outstanding performances, he may conclude the campaign without adding any silverware to his collection, given Bayer Leverkusen’s substantial 10-point lead prior to this match. Additionally, Bayern are not favored to clinch the Champions League title this season.

Following their encounter against relegation-threatened Darmstadt, Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern will face Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga action on March 30, followed by a trip to Heidenheim the subsequent weekend for another fixture in the German top-flight.
