Harry Kane is currently having an extraordinary week. Following his historic Ballon d’Or win, the FC Bayern striker already has his next big highlight coming up. On Saturday evening, Munich will host Borussia Dortmund for the Bundesliga classic. For the 33-year-old, the matchup against BVB is far more than just an ordinary league game.

Bayern and Dortmund are tied on points heading into this head-to-head matchup. The winner can thus gain a significant advantage in the battle for the top spot in the standings. Kane is well aware of the importance of this match.

“It’s a big game—undoubtedly the most important match of the season for us in the Bundesliga,” the Englishman told BILD. Following his personal triumph in London, the striker is now fully focused once again on his shared goals with the record champions.

“We know how much momentum a win and the resulting three-point lead would give us,” Kane emphasized with an eye toward the top-of-the-table clash.

A look at his record so far shows that the Bayern striker particularly enjoys playing against Borussia Dortmund.

In seven competitive matches against the Black and Yellows, the English international has already scored six goals. It’s an impressive tally that Kane hopes to build on Saturday night.

Munich’s recent record against BVB also favors the record champions. Of the past 17 head-to-head matches, Bayern has won 13. They’ve also drawn three and lost just one.

The team has been particularly goal-hungry this season, especially at home in the Allianz Arena. In their first three Bundesliga home games, Bayern has already scored 18 goals.

For Kane, there’s the added benefit that he’ll be well-rested heading into the classic. In the 6-1 DFB-Pokal victory over 1. FC Magdeburg, interim coach Aaron Danks opted not to play his star striker.

Even before Kane goes on the hunt for goals against Dortmund, a special moment awaits the Englishman.

The 33-year-old is set to be honored before kickoff for winning the Ballon d’Or. Kane will also present the coveted trophy to Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena.

Following his triumph at the awards ceremony in London, this is likely to be another emotional highlight for the striker.

However, the past few days haven’t been entirely positive for FC Bayern. Alongside their on-field successes, the record champions have also had to cope with several personnel setbacks. “It’s been an intense week with many ups and downs for the entire team—emotionally as well,” Kane explained.

That made the recent successes all the more important. Now the Englishman wants to build on that momentum alongside his teammates against their biggest domestic rival. “And now we hope to round off the week perfectly on Saturday.”

For Kane, a win against Dortmund would be the ideal way to cap off a week he’s unlikely to forget anytime soon. And given his track record against BVB, the chances are quite good that the newly crowned World Player of the Year will once again play a decisive role himself.
