Harry Kane led Bayern Munich to a stunning 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League group stage, scoring four goals in a record-breaking performance. The emphatic win marked the highest-scoring match by a single team in the competition’s history.
Kane opened the scoring with a 19th-minute penalty and went on to net three more, making him the highest-scoring English player in European Cup history with 33 goals, surpassing Wayne Rooney. He also became the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in a single Champions League game.
Bayern dominated the match, adding goals from Raphael Guerreiro, Michael Olise, Leroy Sane, and Leon Goretzka. Despite brief resistance from Dinamo Zagreb, with goals from Bruno Petkovic and Takuya Ogiwara, Bayern quickly reasserted control.
Thomas Müller also made history by breaking Xavi’s record for the most Champions League appearances for a single club, with 153 games for Bayern.
The resounding victory highlights Bayern’s renewed focus after a trophyless season, while Kane praised the team’s aggressive style under coach Vincent Kompany. With this record-breaking win, Bayern have made a powerful statement as they aim to reach the Champions League final on home turf in Munich.
