Bayern Munich's Harry Kane achieves a remarkable milestone by equaling his Premier League goal tally in significantly fewer games, astounding the football world.

In a spectacular start to the 2022/2023 Bundesliga season, Harry Kane, the new signing for Bayern Munich, scored a hat-trick in their opening match against RB Leipzig. The 6-0 victory was a 'statement' win for the Bavarian giants, with Kane setting the tone early on.

Before the match, Kane had already formed a formidable partnership with former Premier League rival Michael Olise, who also scored twice in the game. The English striker praised Olise's performance in the first half, hinting at the instant chemistry between them.

Kane's hat-trick consisted of every goal scored in the same half, with the first two coming in the first 45 minutes. These goals not only marked a strong start for Kane in his new club but also served as a reminder of his ambition to defend his Golden Boot trophy.

Luis Diaz, the recent arrival from Liverpool, also got on the score sheet, further boosting Bayern's attack. Interestingly, Kane had tipped Diaz to challenge him for the Golden Boot trophy mere days before the match, a prediction that seems to be coming true.

The connection between Kane and Diaz was evident, with the latter setting up Kane's first two goals. Diaz has made an impressive start to his Bayern career, scoring two goals in his first two games.

Vincent Kompany, the Bayern Munich manager, had three former Premier League stars on the score sheet, with Kane, Olise, and Diaz all hailing from England's top flight.

Kane's impressive performance came just a year after he played for Tottenham Hotspur, where he scored a total of 13 goals in 320 games. However, he managed to achieve the same number in 256 games fewer with Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig.

This was Kane's eighth hat-trick in his career, and the first in his opening league match of the season. The hat-trick also ended Kane's August curse, as he had never scored a goal in the month of August until he broke it in the second match of the 2018/2019 campaign against Fulham.

Kane attributed the team's success to the collective effort, stating that the whole team worked together to achieve the 'statement' victory against RB Leipzig. With such a strong start, Bayern Munich fans are eager to see what the rest of the season holds for their new star striker.
