Harry Kane Breaks Bundesliga Penalty Record
Historic Achievement
On Saturday, Harry Kane etched his name in Bundesliga history by becoming the first player in the league’s history to successfully convert his first 17 penalties, according to data from Opta.
Insight on Penalty Technique
When discussing his approach to penalty-taking, the 32-year-old striker remarked (via iMiaSanMia): “It’s not easy. People think it’s straightforward when the ball finds the back of the net. However, I dedicate a lot of time to practice and continuously strive to enhance my routine and technique. Whenever I’m in the box, I trust myself to score, regardless of whether it’s a penalty.”
New Nickname Emerges
Following Bayern Munich’s victory over Hoffenheim, commentators during DAZN’s broadcast referred to Kane as ‘Hat-trick Kane’. When questioned about this nickname after the match, he responded: “Hat-trick Harry was what they called me back in school when I was younger.”
