Kingsley Coman made his feelings clear when asked to compare Harry Kane with Bayern Munich legend Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski enjoyed an ultra-prolific spell at Bayern, scoring an impressive 344 goals during his eight-year spell.
He holds the record for the most goals scored in a single Bundesliga season with 41 in the 2020/21 campaign.

Kane, who signed for Bayern from Tottenham in the summer of 2023, scored a superb 36 league goals in his first season in Germany and has 15 league goals in just 14 games this time around.
Comparisons have often been drawn between the two strikers, with Coman sharing his thoughts on the Kane vs. Lewandowski debate.
The Bayern winger claims Kane is one of the 'easiest' strikers to play with and said the England captain has 'more impact' in games compared to the Polish international.
"I've played with few strikers that make the winger better. With Harry, I feel like he'll enjoy as much going down finding the really nice pass as going up and finishing to score," he told Rio Ferdinand on his podcast.
"He's one of the strikers that is the easiest to play with."
On Kane vs. Lewandowski, Coman added: "They are pretty similar, but I would say Harry has a bit more impact in the game. [He’s] in the game building, while Lewy is really a box striker.
"[He] can also really keep the ball good and everything, but I would say Harry can really drop and can play almost like as a 10 or midfielder, brings the ball up sometimes so obviously sometimes he's less in the box...
“He has more of this capacity while Lewandowski can drop also a little bit, but he has to be in the box, so he cannot drop as much as Harry. I would say this is the big difference. In the box they are pretty similar even though.
"I think Lewandowski is a bit more like moving good or killer in the box, but then Harry has this distance shot that Lewandowski has, but less. Harry is really good outside of the box, outside he is really dangerous as well.
“I think they both are pretty similar, but both have qualities that the other one have also but a bit less. That's why I think overall it's like two players that we can put at the highest striker of those last couple of years.
"I won't say one is better. Because as I told you I think in what Lewandowski is better, Harry is also really good [and] in what Harry is better Lewandowski is also really good."
