Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane eyes Klassiker milestone in latest record hunt

The England captain has already enjoyed a remarkable spell in Germany. Earlier this season, he became the fastest player to reach 20 goal contributions across Europe's top five leagues, doing so in 742 minutes and edging past Lionel Messi's previous mark of 749 minutes set in the 2011/12 campaign.

Kane also brought up 100 goals for Bayern in just 104 matches, surpassing the previous benchmarks set by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland as the quickest to a century for a single club. His consistency has been just as striking. He became the first player in the 60-year history of the Bundesliga to score more than 20 goals in each of his first three seasons.

From the penalty spot, he has been flawless. Kane has converted all 23 of his Bundesliga penalties - the longest perfect run in the league's history.

Now he stands on the brink of another achievement. Kane has scored multiple goals in each of his last three Bundesliga matches. In league history, only Robert Lewandowski has produced four separate runs of three consecutive multi-goal games, while Gerd Muller also managed it three times.

Lewandowski remains the only player to score multiple goals in four straight Bundesliga matches - a record Kane can equal against Dortmund.

For a striker already chasing Lewandowski's wider scoring legacy in Germany, matching that mark in Der Klassiker would underline once again that Kane's time at Bayern has been nothing short of historic.
