Robert Lewandowski on if Harry Kane will surpass his Bundesliga record: “I’ll be honest & say I’m proud of it. 41 goals in 29 games. I looked at it more in that context, rather than if the record will be broken or not. Kane scores many goals, but I’m more proud to have broken that record in 29 games

1. The full quotes from his interview with Meczyki

   >**Robert Lewandowski on his Bundesliga goalscoring record and whether he’s concerned Harry Kane may break it:**

   >I’m going to say it a bit differently. I’m looking at how many goals Harry is scoring and what his numbers are at this stage. I kind of thought, I scored 41 goals in 29 games that season. That’s the value I was looking at. Looking at Harry, how he’s scoring those goals and how many he’s already got, then I looked at my stats later on. I had broken the record by playing in 29 games.

   >I’ll be honest and say that with even more appreciation for that record. I’m proud of it. 41 goals in 29 games. I looked at it more in that context, rather than whether the record will be broken or not. The reality is that the season is still on, there are still games to play.

   >It’s not an easy task, but Harry Kane is really scoring a lot of goals – but I’m even more proud to have broken that record in 29 games. That’s how I approach it”

   >**With 9 games to go, do you think Harry Kane will break the record?**

   >I don’t know. It’s really hard for me to say. And not whether I like it or not – I just don’t know. I know from experience that it’s not easy, but he’s got 9 games to go. He scores a lot of goals, Bayern score a lot of goals.

   >They recently won another game where they scored a minimum of 7 goals, so that’s definitely more beneficial for any striker. When there are a lot of goals, there are a lot of opportunities to score.

   >But I don’t know if Harry Kane will break the record. You’ll probably have to wait – but how often he scores is definitely impressive. If he stays healthy, he’s definitely within reach because he and Bayern are scoring a lot of goals these days”
