The ‘Dreierpack’ Conundrum: How Bayern’s Hat-Trick Rule Hides Harry Kane’s Amazing Form
Harry Kane continued his breathtaking streak with three goals for Bayern Munich in their 6-1 thrashing of Holstein Kiel. But don’t call it a hat-trick, at least not in Germany. Due to the country’s strict definition, the term only applies if the three goals are scored in the same half. We’re scratching our heads at this unusual rule.
Since joining Bayern from Tottenham in 2023, Kane has racked up an incredible 49 goals in just 30 games, showcasing his prowess in German football. On Saturday, the 31-year-old added to his tally, with two goals in the first half and a third penalty in second-half stoppage time.
The five-time hat-trick scorer might not mind the peculiarities of the German term "Dreierpack," but his impressive statistics definitely do. Kane now holds the joint-top English scorer spot in the Bundesliga alongside Jadon Sancho, who currently plays on loan at Chelsea.
With 40 goals in the league, Kane is looking fierce, but the true question remains: will he get his hands on his first official Bayern hat-trick? We hope so! When Bayern faces Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday, they’ll be seeking to capitalize on their 6-1 win against Holstein Kiel. Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates!
