Bayern Munich announced that Harry Kane has won the European Golden Shoe for the second time after scoring 36 goals in the 2025-26 Bundesliga season. The tally matched his goal count from his previous triumph in 2024, the club said in a statement. Kane helped Bayern Munich claim the Bundesliga title, the German Cup and the German Super Cup that season, according to the Qatar News Agency.
The award ceremony is scheduled for August 19 at the Bayern Museum located in the Allianz Arena. Kane will receive the European Golden Shoe in front of supporters and club officials during the event. This marks the latest individual honor for the England international following his move to the German side.
According to ESPN, Lionel Messi holds the record with six European Golden Shoe wins while Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed the award four times. The Bayern Munich statement described Kane as joining that pair as one of the select players with at least two victories in the competition’s history. The award uses a coefficient system based on league rankings to determine the top scorer across Europe.
Bundesliga officials reported that Kane also secured the Bundesliga’s top scorer award for the third year running. He delivered a hat-trick during the DFB Cup final to help lift that trophy. Figures from the league place Kane at the top of the 2025-26 Golden Shoe standings with 72 points, compared to 54 points for second-placed Erling Haaland of Manchester City.
The 2025-26 success builds on Kane’s strong debut campaign with Bayern Munich. His first European Golden Shoe came after he scored 36 goals in the 2023-24 season. Transfer records indicate the striker joined the Bavarian club from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023.
Kane’s consistent scoring has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s all-time great forwards. The forward has maintained high output levels since arriving in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich’s season review highlighted his contributions to the team’s triple domestic success.
