Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen dealt a blow to Harry Kane’s pursuit of a title win in his debut season, adding to the challenges faced by the star striker and the struggling Bavarian club
Bayern Munich faced a resounding 3-0 defeat at the hands of rivals Bayer Leverkusen, dealing a substantial setback to Harry Kane’s aspirations for a title win.
Despite an 11-year career during which Kane became the record goalscorer for both Tottenham and England, the 30-year-old striker has yet to secure any silverware.
His move to Bayern Munich last summer for a staggering £104 million was seen as a potential catalyst for breaking this streak.
However, Kane’s debut in the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig ended in defeat, followed by an unexpected elimination from the German Cup by third-tier minnows Saarbrucken.
The recent match against Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, further complicated Kane’s quest for a trophy.
The match unfolded at the BayArena, where Josip Stanisic opened the scoring in the 18th minute, and Alex Grimaldo extended the lead for the hosts in the 50th minute.
The victory was sealed in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Jeremie Frimpong scored, beating Bayern’s star goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and securing three crucial points for Alonso’s undefeated side.
