In his Bundesliga debut last Friday, Harry Kane left a substantial imprint, providing an early assist and later scoring a goal in the second half, propelling Bayern Munich to a dominant 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen.
Having undertaken a momentous transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern, commanding a staggering fee of 100 million euros ($108.68 million), the arrival of the England captain was driven by Bayern’s dire need to bolster their scoring capabilities.
This move took on heightened significance due to Bayern’s narrow clinching of their 11th league title in the prior season, where they barely outpaced Borussia Dortmund on the last matchday.

The departure of Robert Lewandowski in 2022 intensified the urgency of this situation.
In the initial stages of the match, Kane orchestrated an assist that paved the way for Leroy Sane’s swift conversion into a goal, transpiring within the fourth minute.
Sane later sealed his brace with the third goal for Bayern in the 90th minute. The victory was further solidified when Mathys Tel found the back of the net in stoppage time, cementing the score at 4-0 in Bayern’s favor.
Reflecting on the match, Kane shared his thoughts, acknowledging the challenges posed by Werder Bremen. He expressed, “It was a tough game but we started well with the early goal.”
“They then made it hard for us in the second half but then I scored the second goal and the lads from the bench did the rest.”
“I was a bit nervous and excited. Even though it was not my first match for Bayern I was nervous before the game, I had butterflies in my stomach.”
Last week, Kane marked his Bayern debut with a substitute appearance in the second half during a German Super Cup match at home, which ended in a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig.
