Despite Missed Penalty: Kane's Schnitzel Streak Continues - Harry Kane’s schnitzel tradition fuels Bayern’s Champions League charge
Harry Kane continues to make headlines at Bayern Munich, both on and off the pitch. The striker’s impressive goal-scoring form has earned him a unique reward from a local restaurant—a schnitzel for every goal. Meanwhile, his latest performance secured Bayern’s place in the Champions League knockout stage, despite a rare penalty miss.
Kane’s love for schnitzel has turned into a tradition. Stefan Kastner, owner of Waldgasthof Buchenhain, pledged to deliver the dish for each goal the Englishman scored. Initially, Kastner didn’t expect the offer to last long—but Kane has now netted 34 times in 29 competitive matches this season.
His latest goals came in a crucial Champions League clash against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. A brace from Kane ensured Bayern’s early qualification from the group stage. However, he also missed a penalty, his first for the club, which would have marked his 100th successful spot-kick as a professional. Bayern currently sit second in their Champions League group, behind Arsenal. A draw in their final group game would guarantee home advantage in any two-legged tie up to the semifinals. Kane himself highlighted the importance of this advantage, calling it a major incentive for the team.
Bayern Munich now look ahead to the knockout rounds with confidence, thanks to Kane’s consistent form. The striker’s 34 goals have not only boosted his team’s campaign but also kept a local restaurant busy. With home advantage in sight, Bayern will aim to push deeper into the competition.
