The English striker has had a successful first season in German football since his move from Tottenham in 2023, netting 29 goals in 30 appearances. Despite his impressive performance, he has yet to win a trophy and faces the possibility of ending the 2024 season without any silverware.

Questions have arisen regarding his impact at the Allianz Arena, especially after Bayern suffered three consecutive defeats in various competitions. However, critics are reminded that Kane should not be subject to undue criticism, echoing the treatment once afforded to the prolific Robert Lewandowski.

Former Borussia Dortmund player Lambert, speaking to BoyleSports, commented on Kane’s critics, suggesting that the backlash stems from superficial reasons rather than his actual performance. Lambert emphasized Kane’s remarkable goal-scoring abilities and suggested that Bayern’s current position in the Bundesliga is not solely Kane’s responsibility.

Kane has left his mark both on and off the field in Munich, and there’s potential for him to challenge Lewandowski’s record of 41 Bundesliga goals in a single season. Nonetheless, his primary focus remains on winning major trophies, even if it means sacrificing personal accolades.
