The first half was particularly concerning for Bayern, as they failed to register a single shot on goal – an unprecedented statistic on record in the Bundesliga. Kane's frustration was further compounded when he received a heavy blow to the face while attempting a header from an offside position just before half-time. Even when the ball did reach him, Kane appeared off the pace and failed to provide a consistent attacking threat.
WHAT KANE SAID
Despite the performance, Kane remained optimistic after the match, choosing to focus on the positive aspects of the result.
"If you can’t be at your best then don’t lose! Clean sheet and a point and we move on!" he wrote on Instagram.
