The Golden Boot already has a winner. Not mathematical, but virtual: Harry Edward Kane (Walthamstow, 28-7-1993). Bayern’s ‘9’ is very close to being crowned best scorer in Europe for the first time in his career.
His doublein the victory against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1) – almost a hat-trick – allowed him to deliver a new ‘blow’. The former Tottenham player, who has 35 goals in 31 Bundesliga gameswins by a landslide over his pursuers.
Kane (35 goals/70 points) far surpasses to his most immediate pursuers in the race for the Golden Boot: Kylian Mbappé (26 goals/52 points), Serhou Guirassy (25 goals/50 points), Loïs Openda (24 goals/48 points) and Lautaro Martínez (23 goals/46 points).
This is the race for the Golden Boot
- Harry Kane (Tottenham) –> 35 goals / 70 points
- Kylian Mbappé (PSG) –> 26 goals / 52 points
- Serhou Guirassy (Stuttgart) –> 25 goals / 50 points
- Lois Openda (RB Leipzig) –> 24 goals / 48 points
- Lautaro Martínez (Inter) –> 23 goals / 46 points
- Erling Haaland (Manchester City) –> 21 goals / 42 points
- Luuk de Jong (PSV) –> 27 goals / 40.5 points
- Vangelis Pavlidis (AZ Alkmaar) –> 27 goals / 40.5 points
- Cole Palmer (Chelsea) –> 20 goals / 40 points
- Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP) –> 26 goals / 39 points
The Englishman also has seven goals in the Champions League. Only Mbappé (8) surpasses him in the race for the ‘Pichichi’. A record that he hopes to ‘feed’ in the semi-final duel against Real Madrid. “How many goals am I going to score? Hopefully some. I’m in good shape and confident. “If my teammates nurture me like they have done all season, I will be there,” he says.

Harry Kane
Going for the fifth top scorer of his career
Kane (35 goals) has already surpassed his best scoring season in the League -In 2017-18 and in 2022-23 he scored 30 goals in the Premier– and he still has three days left to improve it. He has become the best debutant in Bundesliga history and will be close, if not surpassed, to breaking the absolute record, in the possession of Robert Lewandowski, who scored 41 goals in 2020-21.
The former Tottenham player, who has not yet released his record at a collective level‘has in the boat’ the fifth top scorer title of his career. He has already been crowned Premier League top scorer three times (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2020-21) and the 2018 World Cup. Now Madrid awaits him, but, be careful, Rüdiger will be in front of him.
