Harry Kane continued his record-breaking season as Bayern Munich secured their place in the Champions League knockout stages with a clinical 2-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday. The win propels Vincent Kompany’s side to second place in the league phase, trailing only a perfect Arsenal side in the standings.
Harry Kane’s Incredible Numbers in 2025/26
The England captain was once again the difference-maker at the Allianz Arena. With his two goals against the Belgian side, Kane has reached a staggering 34 goals in just 29 appearances across all competitions this season.
In the Champions League alone, Kane has netted seven times in six matches, firmly establishing himself as the frontrunner for the Golden Boot. His clinical finishing has been the backbone of Kompany’s tactical system, which has seen Bayern win six of their seven European fixtures so far.
Bayern Chasing Arsenal for Top Spot
The Bavarian giants now sit on 18 points, comfortably inside the top eight for direct qualification. Their only blemish in an otherwise perfect campaign was a narrow defeat to league leaders Arsenal.
When asked if this is the strongest Bayern squad in recent years, veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer remained diplomatic: “If I answered that, I would upset some people,” the captain remarked, though the team’s on-field performance suggests they are serious contenders for the trophy in Munich this year.
