Kane grabbed a goal for Bayern Munich in the second minute of their game against VfB Stuttgart, latching onto a pass from Leroy Sane.

Sane managed to squeeze the ball past an onrushing keeper and slot it across the open net for Kane to finish.

The goal not only gave the Bundesliga champions an early lead but it also marked Kane’s 50th of the year.

With his goal against Stuttgart, he has already notched up 23 goals in all competitions for Bayern since the start of the new season in August.

Kane joins exclusive company

With his 50th goal of the year, Kane has joined an exclusive group of players to achieve the feat this year.

As noted by The Mirror, Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to achieve 50 goals in 2023. The Al-Nassr captain has been in impeccable form for the Saudi Pro League side and has been scoring for fun.

The other person to reach 50 in 2023 is Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker is a goal-scoring machine who helped spearhead City to the treble last season.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe is not far off the trio and needs one more goal to achieve the feat. He will get that chance when PSG take on LOSC Lille in their next Ligue 1 fixture.

Ronaldo scores 50th goal of the year

Sports Brief also previously reported on how Cristiano Ronaldo was proving to be ageless in football.

The 38-year-old football icon continues to defy his years, scoring goals for fun in the Saudi Pro League.

The Al-Nassr star once again found the back of the net for his side after grabbing a goal over Al-Shabab.
