After departing Tottenham last summer in a groundbreaking £100 million transfer to Bayern Munich, Kane has emerged as a standout player for the German powerhouse, topping their scoring charts with an impressive 39 goals across all competitions under Thomas Tuchel’s management.

Despite Kane’s stellar individual performances, Bayern faces the possibility of a trophyless season unless they clinch the Champions League title. This would signify their first season without silverware since 2012, a stark reality highlighted by their early elimination from the German Cup by third-tier Saarbrucken in November and Bayer Leverkusen’s dominance in the Bundesliga.

While Kane remains under contract with Bayern until 2027, speculation swirls about a potential return to the Premier League for the English captain, with a reunion with Spurs or a move to Manchester United being rumored. However, Kane dispelled these rumors after Bayern’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, reaffirming his commitment to the German club.

In response to inquiries about his future at Bayern, Kane stated (according to the Daily Mail): “I’m really enjoying my experience in Germany. It was a step that I needed in my career for a fresh stimulus, a fresh challenge and new surroundings and I’m really happy that I made the move. My future is at Bayern Munich. I have a four-year contract. I’m enjoying it and hopefully, I will be able to make something special happen this season. If not, I’ll be ready to go again in the summer and turn things around.”

However, Kane also acknowledged that his first season in Germany has not gone entirely as planned. “Of course, it’s not the season I wanted with the way the league has gone and the way we got knocked out of the cup,” he expressed. “It’s a competition that the club wants to win. Not winning the Bundesliga is a tough pill to swallow and it makes this competition even more important but we know there’s still a long way to go. We have to find that togetherness and team ethic where we grind out games because we haven’t done it enough this year. It’s been a disappointing season in the Bundesliga compared to what Leverkusen have done.”

Reflecting on Bayern’s performance against Arsenal, Kane noted: “This was a chance to show some togetherness and sometimes that’s through defending as a team. We had a 4-4-2 block – we worked, we blocked, we tackled, we caught them on the transition, and we had a big chance to go 3-1 up but that’s football.”

Despite recognizing Bayern’s challenges, Kane emphasized the significance of solidarity and resilience, drawing parallels to Tottenham’s remarkable Champions League journey under Mauricio Pochettino in 2018-19. Despite struggles in the league, Tottenham reached the final, a feat Kane believes Bayern can replicate this season, leveraging their passion and unity in crucial matches.

“Maybe it will be different next week with our fans,” he said. “It was hard with no fans, and strange to have no one there for us but I thought we dealt with it well. From our point of view, we have to go to the Allianz Arena with a full crowd and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere and the aim is to get to the semi-final.”

“That campaign is similar because we weren’t having a great time in the league if I’m totally honest that year but we found some passion and togetherness in the Champions League and we managed to get to the final and of course, we didn’t manage to win it but that gives me hope. That experience gives me hope that we can find that again – we know we can perform in the big games, perform in the big quarter-final at home next week and try to get back to the final (at Wembley). Being at Wembley is also extra motivation for me personally being my national stadium and it’s still there to try and achieve.”

Kane scored his 15th goal against Arsenal on Tuesday evening and looks to make an impact again in the second leg of their Champions League tie at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday, aiming to propel his team to the semi-finals.
