Prolific England international Kane, who has maintained remarkable individual standards since heading to Munich in 2023, currently sits four efforts clear at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts. He has 21 league goals to his name this season.

That return has helped Bayern to the top of the table, but what looked like being a comfortable gap at the summit has been cut to six points by defending champions Bayer Leverkusen. Schick has been leading their charge, with the Czech frontman finding the target on 17 occasions.
GettyWHAT PATRIK SCHICK SAID
He believes that Kane can be chased down, while also making Bayern sweat on their potential coronation as the kings of German football in 2025. Schick has said: "I'm four goals behind Harry Kane, which is a lot. I can get closer to him. We have an interesting schedule. I believe in it a bit but above all, we want to put pressure on Bayern. I think it's still possible. We're six points behind Bayern now, and we want to put pressure on them. We believe in it."
WHAT NEXT FOR HARRY KANE?
Kane will be desperately hoping that Bayern can get across the line this season, as the 31-year-old has waited his entire career to collect a major honour. He would happily trade Golden Boot honours for a top-flight title, but knows that his goals will be crucial in helping Vincent Kompany’s side to fend off Leverkusen.
