Harry Kane has broken yet another Bundesliga record following his latest brace on Saturday.
The England captain netted a brace for the German side as they beat Frankfurt 2-1 in the Bundesliga to solidify their grip on second place in the division.
Kane has now netted 42 goals in all competitions this season in 42 games after making the move to Germany from Tottenham in a £100million deal last summer.
He has been one of the only success stories for Bayern in a season that has seen them sack their manager and lose the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 years - fans have, however, started a petition for Thomas Tuchel to stay.
Kane, meanwhile, has been in a league of his own, and proved that again on Saturday as he broke two more records, including a personal achievement.

The forward's two goals took him to his highest-ever goals total for a season, going past the 41 he scored in the 2017-18 season for Tottenham.
He also went past 400 career goals as he looks to carry his form into the European Championships with England this summer.
Before that, however, he has the Champions League to fight for as he looks to win his first-ever career trophy.
Kane and Bayern Munich will face Real Madrid in the first leg of their semi-final clash in Munich on Tuesday night.
The Bundesliga record that Kane broke was that he became the first player to score or assist against every team in the Bundesliga in a debut season.
According to BILD, Kane will pocket a £218,000 bonus for his goal scoring exploits, having passed 40 goals.
In the Bundesliga, Kane has scored 35 goals in 31 games and is set to run away with the Golden Boot, 10 clear of Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy in second.
He is now six shy of the all-time record for goals in a Bundesliga season, help by former Bayern forward Robert Lewandowski. He has three games left to break the record.

Kane's season has been somewhat helped by the arrival of former Tottenham team-mate Eric Dier in January.
The outgoing Tuchel has been one of the biggest defenders of Dier after fans questioned his arrival, and spoke highly of the ex-England man again in the build-up to the game with Frankfurt.
'Eric Dier has been an excellent signing. I'm extremely pleased with him,' he said. 'He's absolutely exceeded expectations.
'He's an extremely important piece of the jigsaw. He's organised, vocal, which we've not had as much. I'm very happy.'
