Footballers kick a ball most of the time, but just like other humans, they get that they need some time to loosen up. Some relax by doing various leisure activities like watching television shows.

Recently, Bayern Munich players were asked to name their favourite television shows, and their responses were interesting.

Some of the Bayern players quizzed were Matthijs de Ligt, Alphonso Davies, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Kingsley Koman, Konrad Laimer, Serge Gnabry, Sven Ulreich, Manuel Neuer and manager Thomas Tuchel.

Most players named Game of Thrones, a fantasy television show depicting two powerful families, kings, queens, and knights fighting to sit atop the Iron Throne. The show garnered millions of fans across the world, and it is not surprising most Bayern players love the show.

Others picked Prison Break, Succession, Snowfall, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and La Casa de Papel. Some of these shows have a worldwide audience.

Kane helps Bayern with new milestone

After Bayern defeated Augsburg on the 27th of August, they accrued 4001 points in the Bundesliga. They are the first team in Germany to do so, with fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund 918 points behind. Bayern have played 1,978 matches.

In comparison, Manchester United have 2447 points, the most in the English league, per Transfermarkt.

Against Augsburg, Bayern's new striker also made some history. By scoring a brace, the former Tottenham Hotspur striker became only the third FC Bayern player to score three goals in his first two Bundesliga games. Gustav Jung (1967) and Adolfo Valencia (1993) are the only other players to achieve this feat.

Kane will be looking to win his first title with Bayern.

Kane sets Ballon d'Or target

Sports Brief reported that Kane has set Ballon d'Or targets for himself after moving to Germany despite missing out on a trophy in his opening game for the club.

Kane believes he scores enough goals to be in contention and the only thing missing in silverware. He will be in the conversation for the award if he wins them.
