Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting replaced Kane in the dying minutes of the game as the striker could not continue due to a back injury, as clarified by Thomas Tuchel after the match.
The agony of defeat was compounded by the stark reality that Kane is yet to claim a piece of silverware in his illustrious career, despite amassing an impressive tally of over 400 goals for both club and country.
When Kane made the high-profile switch from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich for a staggering £100 million last summer, he had envisaged lifting trophies and etching his name in footballing history. However, the reality has been far different from his aspirations as Bayern have surrendered their Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen and were knocked out of the DFB Pokal in the second round.
