The highest top scorers who DIDN'T win the league

Published 2024-01-23
Harry Kane sits comfortably at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts yet Bayern sit 2nd in the league, so I wondered who has scored the most goals in a league season but didn’t win the league.

You might be surprised to learn that some unlucky players have scored 40+ goals in a season and still haven't won the title!

This is just a quick video which I hope is interesting for you while I work on a longer video!
