𓃲Kane netted four times – including three from the penalty spot – as records tumbled iဣn the Bavarian giants' first European outing under new boss Vincent Kompany.
Tuesday's four-goal haul took Kane to 33 Champions League goals, 🌳surpassing Wayne R꧒ooney (30) as the top-scoring Englishman in the history of the competition.
It was the 24th hat-trick of Kane's professional career for club and countr❀y, while he became the first player to ever score three penalties in a s💫ingle European Cup/Champions League game.
Bayern, meanwhile, are the first team to ever score nine times in a Champions League match, with Real Ma𒅌drid being the last side to do so in the old European Cup in 1990 (9-1 versus Wacker Innsbruck).
Kane, however, told DAZN there are areas in which Bayern must improve, having been joined on the scoresheet by Michael Olise (twice), Leroy Sanꦇe and Leon Goretzka.
"It was an amazing game. The first ﷽half was r༺eally good, we took our chances," the England captain said.
"We didn't s✅tart the second half well and got caught from ꦑa couple of second balls. We'll have to learn from that.
"Today we got away with that bad start in🌌 the second half, but against top opposition we could get punished for that.
"But the reaction aftཧerwards was really good. It's great to score all these goals."
The only blot on Bayern's victory – which took them to the top of the Champions League's new 36-team league table – came as Manuel Neue🎐r was substituted at half-time.
The 𝐆goalkeeper had earlier appeared to be in discomfort after colliding with Zagreb striker Bruno Petkovic, but he played down concerns over his conditioꦰn after the match.
Speaking to reporters in ꦏthe mixed zone, Neuer said: "I collied there and I was a bit gone.
"Then I hit a few balls and the pain stabbed me in the thig๊h. But it's nothing serious, a small matter.꧟"
