Harry Kane faced significant criticism from the German media following Bayern Munich's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa. The performance was especially disappointing as it marked the first time Bayern failed to score under their new manager, Vincent Kompany. Kane, who returned from an injury to play, was described as "invisible" throughout the match. He managed only one shot on target, which came just before the final whistle. German outlet BILD gave him a poor rating of five out of six, indicating a subpar display.

Kane acknowledged the challenge posed by Villa's goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, who made several crucial saves to keep Bayern at bay. Despite the loss, Kane insisted that there were positives to take away and emphasized the need for the team to improve their finishing​.

This scrutiny from the press highlights the high expectations placed on Kane following his high-profile transfer from Tottenham Hotspur. As Bayern looks to bounce back from this defeat, all eyes will be on Kane to deliver better performances in upcoming fixtures..
