By winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or, Harry Kane has finally secured his place in Bayern Munich’s history. The 33-year-old Englishman was named the world’s best soccer player on Monday evening, making him the first Bayern player since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981 to receive this prestigious award.
But is Kane now also the best goal-scorer the German record champions have ever had? You can vote on this in our big FCBinside poll.
Since his move from Tottenham Hotspur to Munich in the summer of 2023, Kane has impressed with his exceptional scoring ability. In 159 Bundesliga matches, the England national team captain has already scored 156 goals—an impressive average of 0.98 goals per game.
