What Lewandowski record could Kane surpass?

In the 2020/21 season, Lewandowski broke Gerd Muller’s long-standing record when he scored 41 goals in a season.

The previous record of 40 goals was set by Muller in the 1971/72 season and looked like it would last the test of time until the Polish striker showed up, the Bundesliga reported.

Kane needs 18 goals to surpass the record and has 14 games to get it.

Kane’s thoughts on Lewandowski's record

The Polish attacker was asked about Lewa’s record after netting his 24th league goal, admitting that he probably didn’t picture himself getting so many goals at this stage, Goal reported.

He also talked about the record and whether he was dreaming about surpassing it already.

“I don’t like to think about records in particular, as they are a consequence of hard work and doing all the little stuff off the pitch that put you to where you are on it. My focus is on the short term and then as we get closer and we get towards the end of the season and I am in touching distance, then for sure it will be something I would love to achieve,” he said.
