'It's in danger!' - Harry Kane backed to beat Robert Lewandowski's 41-goal Bundesliga record as Thomas Tuchel hails striker as Bayern's 'shark on the field'

The current Barcelona star achieved the feat during the 2020-21 season as he netted a record 41 times - the most in a single season - in the German top flight. Harry Kane, who has already scored 22 league goals in 16 appearances in the ongoing campaign, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-thomas-tuchel-convinced-join-bayern-munich-premier-league-return/bltbc5cdd8d1190b8ae" target="_blank">has been backed by Thomas Tuchel</a> to surpass the Polish forward's tally.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/39312081/kane-break-lewandowski-41-goal-season-record-tuchel" target="_blank">ESPN</a> about Lewandowski's record, the manager said, "It is in danger. No one could ever believe that would be in danger, but it is in danger. We need a bit of luck. We need the team to keep going, Harry needs to be fit, and then we see what's coming... I clearly think that for Harry there are no limits."On managing the English forward, he added, "It's just a gift, honestly, to be his coach. I feel very privileged. He's super humble. He's the first out there on the pitch every single day. What you ever ask of him he will do it. He is that huge personality that is so humble and then becomes a shark -- a shark on the field, because he is up for goals, he's up for winning. "He does it on an everyday basis. He does not only score on a daily basis. He trains well. He does what is needed. He shows his quality. He calms everyone down around him, makes everyone better by his pure presence. It's the highest level. Just can put it like this as a human being, but also as a football highest level."

WHAT THOMAS TUCHEL SAID

The England international scored his first goal of 2024 on Saturday as Bayern returned to action after the winter break. The reigning <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jamal-musiala-is-magic-attacking-midfielder-bags-brace-and-harry-kane-scores-bayern-munich-cruise-past-hoffenheim-emotional-evening/blt013e45540cfe2fa0" target="_blank">Bundesliga champions outclassed Hoffenheim</a> courtesy of a brace by Jamal Musiala and the 30-year-old's 90th-minute strike.
