Bayern striker Harry Kane has won the Golden Boot for the top goalscorer in Europe this past season. The 30-year-old scored 36 goals in his debut campaign in the Bundesliga in 2023/24, finishing ahead of VfB Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy (28 goals), Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (both 27).

The prize has been awarded by European Sports Media since 1997, and previously by French magazine L’Équipe between 1968 and 1991. Kane’s efforts this past season see him join two Bayern greats to have won the trophy, after Gerd Müller (1969/70 and 1972/72) and Robert Lewandowski (2020/21 and 2021/22). Former FCB strikers Roy Makaay and Luca Toni are also among the list of illustrious names to have earned the Golden Boot, although they achieved the feat playing for Deportivo La Coruna and Fiorentina respectively. Haaland won it last season after also scoring 36 times in the English Premier League.
