      Kane had just one shot at goal
      Josip Stanisic broke the deadlock in the 18th minute before Alex Grimaldo doubled Leverkusen’s advantage just after half time.
      Jeremie Frimpong then scored a fantastic solo goal to seal the win in added time.
      But while Bayer Leverkusen ran riot, Kane – who joined Bayern Munich in a £104million transfer from Tottenham last summer – barely had a look-in at goal.
      The striker was limited to just one shot and 18 touches on the ball.

      He also failed to create a single chance.

      Bayern Munich’s hopes of winning another Bundesliga title have now suffered a huge dent.

      He told Sky Sports Germany: “There are of course some symptoms on the pitch. To be honest, I’m p**sed off.
      “To quote Oliver Kahn: What I miss from us players are the balls in the game. We are showing significantly better approaches in training. It’s okay to feel pressure, but there needs to be energy and freedom. That’s missing in our game.”
      He added: “Sometimes we have to speak about us players. It’s not just about the coach.
      “We have many international players at the highest level, we need to step up our game.”

      Man Utd flop Van de Beek’s Eintracht Frankfurt loan nightmare hits brand new low after shock omission

      by

      DONNY VAN DE BEEK has been left out of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Europa Conference League squad as his loan spell takes a major blow.The Manchester United midfielder, 26, joined the Bundesliga side last month as he looks to resurrect his career.

      Van de Beek has struggled since arriving at Frankfurt
      But he will not feature for Frankfurt in Europe as they have omitted him from their list of players registered for the Conference League.
      It comes just one week after he was hauled off at half-time in a 1-0 win over Mainz.
      He was then an unused substitute in their 2-0 defeat to Koln on Saturday.
      Van de Beek is yet to register a goal or assist in three appearances for Frankfurt.
      He has also created just one chance for his team-mates since arriving in Germany.
      He still has 18 months remaining on his contract at Old Trafford but had featured for just 21 minutes this term, with his last outing coming as sub against Crystal Palace on September 30.
      He completed a loan to Frankfurt within the first 12 hours of the January transfer window and the Bundesliga side also have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
      It is believed that fee would be around £9.5m – with add-ons potentially seeing it rise to £12m.

      However, the prospect of the German club taking up that option looks increasingly unlikely as Van de Beek struggles in his new surroundings.
      He has been substituted in every one of his Frankfurt games to date.
      His poor form means he could yet return to Man Utd – where he has started just 23 games since arriving for £40m in 2020. More

      The England captain has matched Gerd Muller and Robert Lewandowski’s tallies from the 1969/70 and 2020/21 seasons, respectively.
      Kane, who has 27 goals across all competitions, could still set the Bundesliga record for most goals in a debut campaign.

      A moderator then stepped in to explain the rivalry before Kane changed his mind and said: “Ah, okay. Just a dog.”

      Man Utd, Arsenal & Chelsea transfer target ‘available for £43m from summer as Bundesliga star’s release clause leaked’

      by

      SEVERAL of the Premier League’s top clubs have been put on high alert after Benjamin Sesko’s alleged release clause was revealed.The 20-year-old arrived at RB Leipzig last summer from their Austrian sister club RB Salzburg.
      Sesko is one of Europe’s most highly rated young forwardsCredit: Getty
      His rapid progression from the Austrian league to the Bundesliga has naturally drawn comparisons with Erling Haaland, given they both made their names at Salzburg before big Bundesliga moves.
      Sesko started the season rapidly with a goal on both his Bundesliga and Champions League debuts for Leipzig.
      His debut goal in the Champions League made him the club’s youngest player to score in Europe, at just 20 years and 111 days old.
      The goals have become less consistent of late, which is natural for a youngster acclimatising to one of Europe’s top leagues.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Sky Sports Germany report that the forward will be available for a bargain £43million this summer due to the way his transfer to Leipzig was constructed.
      As part of Leipzig signing Sesko for £20.4m in the summer with £5m in add-ons, the cheap release clause was added this summer as a ‘compromise’ in the deal.
      Chelsea have previously been linked to a summer deal for Sesko, with the Blues seeing the Slovenian as a cheaper option to their long-term target, Victor Osimhen.
      As a stop-gap until then the club appear to be chasing Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, who has rarely featured for Unai Emery’s side this season.

      Arsenal in the past have also seen Sesko as a viable alternative to Ivan Toney, and will wait until the summer to sign a forward anyway.
      United were heavily linked with Sesko in the summer when they opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund instead.
      However, it is well known that the Red Devils remain in the market for a no9 as competition for the Hojlund. More
