How do Bayern Munich's Harry Kane and Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy compare?

Kane and Guirassy face off in Der Klassiker with both strikers in prolific form; Kane won the Ballon d'Or this week.

Der Klassiker between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 8 will feature a compelling duel between two of the Bundesliga's elite strikers.

Harry Kane has dominated German football since joining Bayern, winning the Torjägerkanone in each of his first three seasons and claiming the Ballon d'Or this week. The England captain has already scored 10 goals in 12 appearances across all competitions this term, with four assists in his first seven league outings. Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany praised Kane's intelligence and all-round play: "He's everywhere and is a player who makes the right decisions incredibly often." Kane has also scored four times in Bayern's opening three Champions League fixtures.

Serhou Guirassy has established himself as the Bundesliga's second-best striker, finishing runner-up to Kane in the Torjägerkanone race twice since Kane's arrival. The Guinea international scored 28 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart in 2023/24 and followed that with 21 goals for Dortmund last season. Though he managed 17 Bundesliga goals last term—enough for third in the scoring charts—Guirassy has already netted seven goals in all competitions this season and appears back to his razor-sharp best. He was joint-top scorer in the 2023/24 Champions League with 13 goals.
