Harry Kane, 30, Bayern Munich, broke records in his Bundesliga debut.
The Bavarians defeated Werder Bremen 4-0 in the opening match of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga season at the Weserstadion in Bremen, Germany, at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday (Sept. 19).
With the win, Bayern Munich extended its unbeaten streak to 12 opening matches (10 wins, 2 draws) for the first time since the 2012-2013 season.
Munich “freshmen” Kim Min-jae and Kane started the match. Kim played 68 minutes, while Kane scored a goal and added an assist in the big win.
Kane’s Bundesliga debut was arguably the highlight of the match, as he took a pass from Davies in the center of the box and beat the goalkeeper with a right-footed shot in the 29th minute with his team leading 1-0. Prior to that, Kane picked up an assist just 195 seconds into the game. It is the fifth-fastest Bundesliga debut assist in history.
The BBC was positive about Kane’s future in Germany. “Kane’s arrival in Munich is in no doubt. “Before the game, Munich coach Thomas Tuchel claimed that the ‘Kane effect’ would boost his side’s chances of winning the title, and it’s easy to see why (tonight).”
Munich signed Kane from Tottenham in the English Premier League on Dec. 12. His contract runs until June 2027 and he will wear the number 9 shirt. His transfer fee is said to be a “Munich club record” of 120 million euros ($175 million), including options. Kane will also receive €25 million ($364 million) per year.
The BBC predicts that Kane will get his money’s worth in Munich.
According to statistics company Opta, Kane made history against Bremen, becoming the first English player to score a goal and provide an assist on his Bundesliga debut. It was a great performance for the England international.
Narrowing it down to just the goal, he also became the second English player in history to score a goal on his Bundesliga debut. Reiss Nelson (23, Arsenal) scored on his debut for Hoffenheim in 2018.
Kane also became the second player in three years to accomplish the feat after Sane scored and assisted on his debut in September 2020.
After the game, Kane said: “I’m very happy to start a new season at a new club. Obviously, getting the goal early helped us. We made plays that could have decided the game early.” 안전카지노사이트
