Harry Kane delivered yet another masterclass, scoring his fourth hat-trick of the season as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich crushed Cologne in their final league match of the campaign. The England captain's sensational form has been a defining story of the season, and this performance was no exception.
Kane has now amassed an astonishing 63 goals for club and country in just 55 appearances during the 2025-26 season, with 36 of those coming in 31 Bundesliga games. His relentless scoring has been a cornerstone of Bayern's dominance, as they clinched their 35th league title on April 19 and finished a staggering 16 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. With a German Cup final against Stuttgart looming on May 23, the Bavarians are eyeing a double.
Bayern's domestic campaign was nothing short of historic, losing just one of 34 league matches while netting an eye-popping 122 goals. Kane opened the scoring in the 10th minute, volleying home Joshua Kimmich's flick-on. The duo struck again just three minutes later, with Kimmich nudging a free-kick to Kane, who fired into the bottom corner.
Cologne briefly threatened when Said El Mala pulled one back in the 18th minute after a quick counter-attack, but Tom Bischof quickly restored Bayern's two-goal cushion with a low drive from outside the box. Kane completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute with a powerful 25-yard effort, set up by Leon Goretzka. The rout was sealed in the 83rd minute when Luis Diaz assisted Nicolas Jackson, on loan from Chelsea, for a fifth goal.
Kane's previous Bundesliga hat-tricks this season came in Bayern's 6-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig in August, a 4-1 away win at Hoffenheim in September, and a 5-0 demolition of Stuttgart in December. This latest feat underscores why he remains the most feared striker in the league, and for fans of the beautiful game, his remarkable consistency is a joy to witness.
