Robert Lewandowski sends warning to Harry Kane after Bayern Munich striker claims his Bundesliga scoring record is 'within reach'

Bundesliga

Hoffenheim

Bayern Munich

Former Bayern star Lewandowski's remarkable feat of 41 goals in a single season during the 2020-21 campaign shattered Gerd Muller’s long-standing record. However, Kane's prolific form for Bayern in the domestic league this season has<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-abuse-because-doesnt-have-i-end-name-critics-lay-off-bayern-munich-striker-trophy-struggles-efforts-fill-robert-lewandowski-void/blt9743fc4f926af751" target="_blank"> reignited the race for supremacy in Bundesliga goal-scoring history.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

In his very first season in Germany, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-goals-bayern-munich-striker-huge-landmarks-incredible-season-despite-bundesliga-title-agony/blt1e1992182c11eab5" target="_blank">Kane finds himself within striking distance of Lewandowski's record-breaking </a>tally as he has already found the net 35 times in the league. The England skipper needs six more from his final three games to rewrite history. The striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/hurry-harry-kane-not-giving-up-breaking-robert-lewandowski-record-35-bundesliga-goals-bayern-munich/blt63a885b268ac840f#csb7c31c24f5180489" target="_blank">himself believes in his abilities</a> and said: “It's possible, but I have to hurry, I have to score a few goals in the next few weeks. As I said, it's there, it's within reach. But it will depend on the last three games.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Aware of the challenge posed by Kane, Lewandowski acknowledged the Englishman's remarkable debut season at Bayern Munich but also cautioned him against underestimating the difficulty of surpassing his Bundesliga milestone.Lewandowski told Sport BILD: "What Kane has achieved in his first season at Bayern is incredible. Nobody could have expected that. As for the record... Kane needs to score 6 goals in 3 games. It will be very difficult."

WHAT LEWANDOWKSI SAID

Lewandowski, who now plays for Barcelona, scored 41 goals in 29 games for Bayern when he broke Muller's record, after being injured from matchday 27 to 30, which he believes gives the achievement more weight."I thought to myself that I’ve scored 41 goals in 29 games that season. That’s the figure I had in mind,“ he explained. "I had broken the record by playing 29 games. I want to be honest and say that I appreciate this record even more. I’m proud of it. 41 goals in 29 games. I saw it more in that context and not whether the record would be broken or not."

DID YOU KNOW?

With Bayern scheduled to face Stuttgart and Hoffenheim away, and Wolfsburg at home, Kane has a narrow window of opportunity to etch his name into Bundesliga folklore. Moreover, his quest for personal glory must walk hand-in-hand with Bayern's aspirations in the Champions League, where they were held to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their semi-final against Real Madrid. All eyes will be on Thomas Tuchel as he will decide whether Kane will get the full 90 minutes on Saturday against Stuttgart in a dead rubber, which comes just a few days before Bayern face Madrid in the second leg of their European tie.
