Tottenham lose 3-2 to Bayern Munich in friendly but young stars give Ange Postecoglou materials to rebuild his attack
t may have been the second match in a glamour friendly double header, but this game carried greater significance for Tottenham fans.loomed large over proceedings: as the massed crowds in white shirts funnelled out of White Hart Lane station and down Whitehall Street, they could not help but be reminded of their all-time record goalscorer as they shuffled past the enormous mural of his face gazing searchingly back at them.
Amid the swirling mix of old flames and new beginnings, there were familiar limitations. Having lost the first of two pre-season fixtures against Bayern in Seoul last weekend, Spurs took the lead within a minute after Kulusevski won a bouncing ball in midfield, freed Brennan Johnson and bundled in the return. By half-time, they were 3-1 down after soft goals for Dayot Upamecano and Thomas Müller at set pieces and a rocket from Serge Gnabry.
As for Kane, he had to settle for bystander status until he replaced Joshua Kimmich on 80 minutes. Again, fans rose to their feet all around the ground to applaud, answering Postecoglou’s call for a belated show of love for a player whose legacy at the club is almost too vast to reckon with.
