However, in his first training session with Bayern Munich, something caught the attention of fans.
Harry Kane wore a pair of glittering boots with a seemingly special date emblazoned on it.
The boots worn by the captain of England had the date 17.08.23 written on them and fans are bemused over what the date signifies.
What does the date on Harry Kane’s boots in his first Bayern Munich training signify?
There have been several mixed reactions and suggestions regarding what that date meant, with some linking it to personal reasons.
Some fans shared the notion that Harry Kane was celebrating the independence day of Indonesia.
However, there are several events for the day also, including the independence day of Gabon.
It is unknown if Kane has an affiliation with these countries, however, there are some distinct events held on 17.08.23. Some of such events include National Vanilla Custard Day or National Cupcake Day.
Some have also suggested that the striker and his wife, Kate Goodland might be expecting their baby on that day, having revealed they were having a fourth child.
RB Leipzig annihilated Bayern Munich in the DFL-SUPERCUP
Harry Kane didn’t get a fairytale start at Bayern Munich as RB Leipzig pummeled the Bundesliga champions in the DFL-Supercup.
The Red Bulls defeated Thomas Tuchel’s side by 3-0, courtesy of an outstanding hat-trick from Dani Olmo.
However, Harry Kane also participated in the game, coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute for Mathys Tel.
Kane’s trophy curse continued as RB Leipzig spoiled the party for an underwhelming Bayern Munich side.
It was a repeat of the 2021/22 DFL-Supercup, where the Munich-based side came out victorious by 5-3 at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany.
Bayern Munich couldn’t reprise that display, and they lost the Super Cup title for the first time since the 2018/19 season.
The Bavarians commence the 2023/24 German Bundesliga season with an away game against Werder Bremen on Friday, August 18, 2023.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have made 4 signings so far this summer, namely; Harry Kane, Min-Jae Kim, Konrad Laimer, and Raphaël Guerreiro.
Bayern Munich had an underwhelming season last term, following the dismissal of Julian Nagglesman.
The managerial shake-up at the Bavarian side hasn’t yielded the right dividend so far, as Thomas Tuchel hasn’t been able to find a winning formula for the club.
Harry Kane’s departure from Tottenham Hotspur is expected to have a significant effect on the English club, due to his immense impact across the years.
However, Spurs are eyeing Nigerian forward Gift Orban as a replacement for the England international.
