Kane created one goal and scored another on his league debut, but the main interest is in the potential title-challengers
After Bayern Munich raised the curtain on Bundesliga 2023-24, we could then get to seeing what they will face in the field. Harry Kane’s debut – an assist inside four minutes then a first goal – showed how he will bring the best out of his teammates, but, like a 4-0 win at Werder Bremen, though excellent, were expected.
Everything on Friday night had gone almost exactly to script for the champions and their star signing, but that was never the question occupying Bundesliga-focused minds – the last time Bayern lost to the northerners was a 5-2 home defeat back in September 2008, and the best Werder have mustered since is four draws. It was as straightforward as pressing the demo button on a top-of-the-range keyboard. England’s captain could not have asked for a more forgiving first outing.
