Three goals for Harry Kane at UEFA Euro 2024 were enough for him to jointly claim the golden boot after England came up short in the final against Spain - the last match in a long but prolific campaign for the Bayern Munich striker. bundesliga.com reflects on the numbers behind the England captain's electric debut season in Germany...

1 - Kane made his Bayern debut in the Supercup against RB Leipzig, which Die Roten Bullen won 3-0. Hardly the start the England captain was looking for, but things have improved dramatically since then. Interestingly, Dutch playmaker Xavi, whose opening goal for the Netherlands Kane levelled before England sealed a Euro 2024 final spot in a dramatic semi-final in Dortmund, also made his Leipzig debut in the same tie.

1 - Kane is the first Englishman to finish a Bundesliga season as top scorer, adding to his three Golden Boots from the English Premier League.

3 - The 30-year-old is just the third Englishman to play for Bayern, following in the footsteps of Owen Hargreaves and Omar Richards. 

4 - The number of hat-tricks Kane scored in the Bundesliga in his first season - a record. The former Tottenham Hotspur forward also became just the fourth England player to score a hat-trick in the German top flight after Kevin Keegan, Tony Woodcock and Jadon Sancho, against Bochum during Matchday 5, before repeating that feat again versus Darmstadt, Dortmund and Mainz.

6 - Kane became the sixth player to be crowned top scorer in his first season in the Bundesliga and was the first to manage that since Luca Toni in 2007/08.

15 - Kane's Klassiker hat-trick took him to a staggering 15 goals in his first 10 Bundesliga appearances. That is a record after 10 career outings in the German top flight, while only the legendary Gerd Müller had previously scored that many at the same stage of a season, in 1968/69.
