Dietmar Hamann criticized that Harry Kane had himself substituted on Wednesday evening. For the expert, even the Englishman’s injury is no adequate excuse.
“When you bring in a player, the captain of the England national team, who cost 100 million euros. He’s not the captain at Bayern, but he is the most important player, the leading figure,” explained Hamann: “Then you can’t just leave a Champions League semifinal after 80 minutes with back problems.”
At that time, FC Bayern was leading 1-0 in Madrid and was on course to reach the Champions League final. Thomas Tuchel had to make several substitutions in the final stages due to some players struggling with health issues, including Kane, who, according to the coach, had back issues.
Kane also missed Sunday’s Bundesliga match against VfL Wolfsburg. The same goes for Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, and Serge Gnabry.
“I believe none of them can play tomorrow,” Tuchel said at the press conference. In the league, FCB is only aiming to secure second place over VfB Stuttgart.
Kane theoretically still has a chance to break Robert Lewandowski’s goal record. However, he would need five more goals. His absence makes this significantly less likely.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Kane has had a really good season at the German club, which he joined at the start of this season.
Kane decided to leave Tottenham in his quest to win trophies. He hoped to achieve this in his first season at Bayern, but it has not turned out that way. They have missed the chance to win the Bundesliga, the Champions League, and the German Cup.
