Kane the 100th! Bayern trash minnows who blame Yamal for poking Munich bear

Harry Kane responded to Lamine Yamal's latest Ballon d'Or dig with a simple reply – he kept scoring. Lots of them.The England captain hit another milestone on Saturday, becoming the fastest player in Bundesliga history to reach 100 goals as Bayern Munich demolished Union Berlin 7-0.##LINKED_NEWS_69091##Kane needed just 98 Bundesliga appearances to reach his century, smashing the previous record held by Dieter Muller, who needed 129 games for Cologne. Bayern legend Gerd Muller took 136, while Lothar Emmerich and Uwe Seeler needed 140 and 157 respectively.And Kane did not stop at 100.After converting a 39th-minute penalty, he headed in Michael Olise's cross nine minutes into the second half to register his 101st Bundesliga goal. That took his extraordinary Bayern tally to 152 goals in 154 appearances in all competitions since arriving from Tottenham in 2023.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Olise scored a hat-trick, while Jamal Musiala and the Bavarians' latest signing Ismael Saibari also got on the scoresheet as Bayern maintained their unbeaten start to the season.For Kane, however, the numbers are becoming almost absurd. He scored 61 goals in 51 games last season and already has six in seven appearances this term."I'm very proud to reach 101 Bundesliga goals," Kane told Sky Germany after the game. "To have more goals than games is obviously a great stat to have."His timing could hardly be more interesting.##LINKED_NEWS_69104##Just recently, Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal took another swipe at the idea that goals should decide the Ballon d'Or, with Kane one of his obvious rivals for the prize."The Ballon d'Or has to be given to the best player in the world and that's it. Not to a player who simply scores 80 goals, because when you score 80 goals they give you the top-scorer award," Yamal said.And, somewhat unexpectedly, it was Union Berlin's social media team who noticed the timing and struck superbly on X, blaming young Yamal for poking the bear ahead of their clash with Bayern:"Couldn't that 19-year-old rascal from Barcelona have just kept his mouth shut? Kane and Olise are absolutely on fire today, proving they are Ballon d'Or material."Needless to say, the post went viral and will probably get even more attention later today – and who knows, maybe even Lamine's response.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 4FridayBayern – Union Berlin 7-0 (3-0)/Musiala 18, Kane 39 pen, 54, Olise 43, 73, 76, Saibari 70/Saturday16.30: (2.35) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.60) Freiburg (2.85)16.30: (2.80) Hamburger (3.45) Koln (2.45)16.30: (3.00) M' gladbach (3.50) Mainz (2.30)16.30: (2.35) Werder (3.60) Augsburg (2.85)19.30: (2.40) Stuttgart (3.60) Dortmund (2.80)Sunday16.30: (2.00) Leverkusen (3.70) RB Leipzig (3.50)18.30: (2.05) Schalke (3.60) Elversberg (3.50)20.30: (4.55) Paderborn (4.45) Hoffenheim (1.65)***odds are subject to change***##SOFASCORE_<iframe id="sofa-standings-embed-42-97464" src="https://widgets.sofascore.com/embed/tournament/42/season/97464/standings?widgetTitle=Bundesliga&showCompetitionLogo=true&widgetTheme=light" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%!important; height:1043px!important;max-width:768px!important;"></iframe><div style="font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;text-align:left"> Standings provided by <a target="_blank" href="https://sofascore.com/">Sofascore</a> </div>##
