Bayern chief blown away by Harry Kane's penalty heroics after England captain scores twice to match impressive 25-year Bundesliga record

The first half of the contest at the Allianz Arena was relatively uneventful, though Kane and Jamal Musiala both had opportunities to break the deadlock. However, 10 minutes into the second half, Bayern were awarded a penalty after Anthony Jung handled the ball inside the box. Kane stepped up with confidence and dispatched his spot-kick with precision, giving Bayern the advantage.

As the match neared its conclusion, Bayern were awarded another penalty in stoppage time when Jung fouled Musiala inside the area. Once again, Kane made no mistake, coolly slotting home his 12th penalty goal of the season, ensuring a comfortable 3-0 win for the defending Bundesliga champions, with Leroy Sane scoring another.

Following the match, Bayern’s president Hainer was full of admiration for Kane's consistency from the spot, emphasizing his ability to convert penalties with remarkable precision.

"That's a quality he has. I don't know anyone who converts penalties quite like he does," he said.

Bayern’s head coach Vincent Kompany also acknowledged Kane’s influence, emphasizing that his penalty success is not merely down to talent but the result of dedicated training and preparation.

“I see what Harry does – not just in matches, but also in training. It's no coincidence. There's a lot of work behind it,” the Belgian said.

Kane's latest brace added to his incredible goal tally, setting a new Bundesliga milestone. The 31-year-old became the first player in 25 years to score nine penalties in a single Bundesliga season - a record previously achieved by Jörg Butt in the 1999-2000 campaign. The only player to have scored more penalties in a single Bundesliga season remains Paul Breitner, who netted 10 during the 1980-81 campaign.

With this victory in the books, Bayern will now shift their focus to the Champions League, where they face a crucial play-off round match against Celtic on Wednesday. Following that, the Bavarian giants will prepare for a high-stakes Bundesliga showdown against league leaders Bayer Leverkusen on February 15 - a match that could have major implications for the title race.
