Bayern Munich fans were delighted with the 1-0 win against Manchester United in the last group game in the Champions League. It was their sixth consecutive top-place finish in their Champions League group. However, it continued the goal drought of Harry Kane for over five hours. But the England international ended the goal drought with his brace against Stuttgart.
Speaking after ending his goal drought, Kane said, “Yeah, it feels like forever. We had the Champions League, we had the league and then we had the game canceled. So it’s been it feels like it’s been ages since I scored, but that’s part of football. I said it last week. You know, sometimes the ball drops you, it doesn’t, and it was nice to get back on the score sheet today.”
The brace in the Bundesliga game also helped him achieve another record. Harry Kane became the highest goal scorer of 2023, with 51 goals surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward remains on 50 goals on the level with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. Hence, the England international is aware that his first place is not safe at the moment.
