A hat-trick from Dani Olmo saw off Bayern comfortably as Kane’s wait for silverware continued.

Youngsters Mathys Tel started up front instead of the England captain, who was a substitute after officially completing his £104million move earlier that morning.

Kane eventually made his debut, coming off the bench after 63 minutes.

At that point, Bayern were already 2-0 down as the shell-shocked ex-Tottenham man watched on.

And just five minutes into his first appearance RB Leipzig got a third goal.

A fuming Tuchel ripped into his squad and apologised to Kane during his post-match interview.

He said: “I have no explanation at the moment. We’re conceding the easiest of goals.

“It’s like we haven’t done anything for four weeks.

“What we’ve shown today has nothing to do with how we trained, the form, the atmosphere. It’s alarming, just alarming.

“I’m just sorry for him [Kane].

“He probably thinks we haven’t trained for four weeks.

“Our performance today had nothing to do with what we set out to do. It’s a very bitter evening, I’m sorry.

“We were puzzled. I don’t know why. It’s a mental thing. I have no idea. I have no solution right now.

“I’m dismayed and extremely disappointed. Our style of play wasn’t recognisable.”

Bayern struggled in periods last season, which led to previous boss Julian Nagelsmann getting sacked and replaced by Tuchel.

The ex-Chelsea gaffer managed to win the league title last term in a dramatic final-day, but the Bavarian giants’ performances were not convincing.

Kane’s name was sung by supporters at the Allianz Arena yesterday and he will be hopeful of a better result next week when their league campaign starts versus Werder Bremen.
