Harry Kane misses out on first trophy after Bayern Munich suffer heavy defeat on debut

Harry Kane endured a debut to forget for Bayern Munich as they suffered a heavy three-goal defeat against RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup at their home stadium

Harry Kane’s debut for Bayern Munich ended in frustration as his new club suffered a heavy defeat in the German Super Cup at the hands of RB Leipzig .

The England captain, who on Saturday morning completed a transfer from boyhood team Tottenham, which could be worth in excess of £100million, was included in Bayern’s matchday squad – giving him the opportunity to win silverware on his first day at the club.

Winning would have boosted an already momentous day in the striker’s career, having signed a four-year contract with Bayern and taking their prestigious No.9 shirt last worn by predecessor Robert Lewandowski. Kane, who leaves Tottenham as the club’s all-time record goalscorer with 280 strikes, says that that he signed for the Bundesliga champions in order to prove himself “at the highest level.”

Bayern had won the German Super Cup in six of the previous seven editions, including last season’s 5-3 victory over the same opponents. They were favourites to lift this season’s trophy too, which would have continued their domestic dominance in Germany – and it would have clinched Kane’s first trophy in his senior career.
