Kane has been Bayern’s go-to man throughout the season, scoring 44 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions. He netted from the penalty spot in the semi-final first leg against Real, seeing him finish with a tally of eight strikes from 12 appearances in the Champions League this term. But his key contributions failed to prevent former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann dishing out some harsh criticism.

Hamann told Sky: “If you bring in a player, the English national team captain who cost 100 million euros. He may not be Bayern’s captain, but he is the most important player, the leading figure. Then I can’t go out after 80 minutes in a Champions League semi with back problems.”

He added: “Those are the games where they need him. Of course it was a sign for the Madrid and catastrophic for Bayern.”

After suffering Champions League elimination, the free-scoring Kane will not get the chance to lift silverware for the very first time this season. Euro 2024 is the next chance for him to try and break his duck, with England one of the heavy favourites to win the trophy in Germany.
