Has Harry Kane been a 'failure' at Bayern? Ange Postecoglou gives strong take on England captain's first season in Germany and explains main reason he left Tottenham

After making a £100 million move from Spurs, Kane's debut season at Bayern Munich could <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everyone-laughing-england-harry-kane-selfish-robert-lewandowski-record-bayern-munich-trophy-bid/blt802d3f428a3edcce" target="_blank">potentially end without silverware.</a> After being knocked off their perch in the Bundesliga and exiting the DFB-Pokal, the Champions League is the only trophy still available to Thomas Tuchel's side, who will host Arsenal in the second leg of their quarter-final tie with the scoreline level at 2-2 after the first leg. However, Postecoglou has dismissed the notion that Kane's move would be deemed unsuccessful in the absence of trophies.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Asked whether Kane's first season in Germany should be deemed a failure if his wait for a first major trophy goes on, the Tottenham boss said: "No, I don’t think that’s fair. I’m not going to speak for Harry, for God’s sake. But I don’t think that’s the only reason he left. I think he was pretty clear that he wanted a different experience and I think there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s been my whole career. He was at one club for a very long time. He was at a point where he either makes a decision to stay and become a one-club man, which is fair enough, or he can experience something different as a footballer, maybe as a person.“I don’t know. These are questions for him. But I don’t get this notion that he just moved just to win things. I don’t think if he had stayed here he didn’t think he was going to win things. I just think he wanted a different experience and he’s getting that. I’m sure at the end of his career, if that was his reasoning behind it, he’ll find that it does. It gives you a real broad experience about what football is about, what life is about. I don’t think that’s fair on him.“Ultimately all these decisions you make about your personal career… I know every decision I’ve made in my career, it’s very hard for other people sometimes to understand because they’re not living my life. They’re not with my family or with the people around me to know why you come to these decisions. They’re very rarely around too many simplistic things. Most of the time there’s a whole range of factors that you put into it.”

WHAT POSTECOGLOU SAID

Throughout the season, Kane has been a prolific scorer for Bayern Munich, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-surprised-bayern-munich-37-goal-striker-challenge-robert-lewandowski/bltf0cdff119d85350a" target="_blank">netting 39 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions</a>, including a crucial goal against Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Addressing Bayern's trophy expectations, Kane acknowledged that failing to win the Champions League would be considered a disappointment for the club, but he will do everything in his power to get them over the line."Of course, from the club’s point of view it will be a failed season if we don’t win anything this year because we’re expected to win, but then all you can do is take that into next year and try to turn that around," Kane said."So I think that’s a harsh reality in winning and losing, you can do a lot of good things throughout the year and still end up on the losing side so I don’t think it’s as harsh as [being a failure]. There’s a lot of things that go into it but I think the main thing for us right now is that we still have an opportunity to turn the season into a great season if we win the Champions League."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With Bayern still in contention for Champions League glory, Kane remains optimistic about the team's prospects. He emphasised the importance of seizing the opportunity to turn the season into a memorable one by clinching the prestigious European title. To make that a reality, Kane must put his best foot forward against the Gunners on Wednesday evening at Allianz Arena.
