Bayern Munich’s penalty takers usually bury the ball home when given a spot-kick. For the past two seasons, Harry Kane has been the one who takes a Bayern peno; same goes for England when they get a penalty. The 31-year-old is so lethal from the spot that he’s the best penalty taker among the continent’s top scorers, converting every single one he has taken since last year:
Since the beginning of 2023, Harry Kane has converted 21 of 21 penalties for club and country (13 of 13 for Bayern). This makes him currently the best penalty taker among Europe’s top scorers. Robert Lewandowski also has a 100% rate but has only taken 10 penalties in the same period.

This season, Kane famously did the “stutter-step” penalty which is a technique that Lewandowski popularized. The trick is used to see which way the goalkeeper is going to dive to, and just simply go the other way.
