Harry Kane is still waiting to get his hands on the collective title for the first time in his career. After moving to Bayern Munich in the summer, many expected him to end his title drought easily because the German giants have won the Bundesliga 10 times in a row.
However, Bayern was eliminated from the DFB Pokal, lost in the Super Cup final and received a 0-1 disadvantage against Lazio after the first leg in 1/8 Champions League. Bayern is also 8 points behind Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen.
A disastrous week for the club has seen them suffer three consecutive defeats. And the Arsenal connection has played a role in all those encounters . The 0-3 defeat to Leverkusen took place when Kane witnessed Granit Xhaka bossing the midfield.
Former Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi then took home the Man of the Match award as Lazio beat Bayern. The nightmare week ended with a 2-3 defeat to Bochum and former Arsenal player Takuma Asano scored the winner.
Arsenal fans discovered that coincidence and expressed:
“Arsene Wenger signed Takuma Asano just so he could sell him, watch him develop, and eventually become the player who could end Harry Kane’s title hopes “.
Another shared: ” Asano helped Xhaka win the Bundesliga “.
