It’s fair to say that Harry Kane and his Bayern Munich team-mates have endured a five-day period from hell. 

After a dismal display against Bundesliga title rivals Bayer Leverkusen – which saw them get beaten 3-0 – Thomas Tuchel’s side then lost a crucial Champions League clash with Lazio. 

After both games, ex-Tottenham star Kane was slammed by German media outlets for his lack-lustre performances in-front of goal – as he failed to score in either tie. 

Here, Mail Sport takes a look at what the stats say about Tottenham and Bayern’s fortunes both with and without the England talisman.

To begin our analysis of Kane and his influence on the pitch, let’s begin with the statistics regarding his former club Tottenham.

During the 2022-23 campaign, the England captain provided a staggering 30 Premier League goals as the north London outfit secured an eighth place finish. 

While Kane had been part of a defensive-minded Antonio Conte side, Tottenham have looked reinvigorated under current boss Ange Postecoglou. 

The Australian has had an unprecedented impact on the north London side and, even without the club’s top goalscorer of all-time, has managed to change their fortunes. 

Stats, provided by Opta Stats Perform, show that in 2022-23 Tottenham averaged 1.64 goals per game, with an expected goal tally of 1.42 in all competitions.

Now, without Kane, Spurs are averaging 1.96 per game, with an average expected goal tally of 1.66, which serves as a testament to their new free-flowing football. 

In place of Kane, the likes of Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson have all stepped up with goal contributions for the north London outfit. 

They also boast an increased rate of shots per game – 13.4 from 2022-23 compared to 15.1 now – and shots on target per game – 4.9 last year compared to 5.7 this year.

Despite selling Kane, Tottenham are averaging more points per game and a higher win-rate

Perhaps the most crucial stat of all, the club’s win-rate, also falls in favour of Spurs’ 2023-24 side – with the 55.6 per cent rate bettering last year’s 46 per cent. 

Meanwhile, German giants Bayern have endured far different fortunes this season and look likely to miss out on any silverware in 2023-24. 

They trail rivals Leverkusen by five points in the league and have been knocked out of the DFB Pokal – meaning the Champions League perhaps represents the most viable trophy to win. 

During the last campaign – which saw them win the Bundesliga title – Bayern averaged 2.73 goals per game in the league. 

However, with Kane in their ranks they now average just 2.45 goals per game. 

This stat comes as an even greater shock considering that Kane has managed to score 28 goals in all competitions in Germany from just 29 appearances. 

Since Kane's arrival, Bayern Munich now average fewer goals per game than they did last year

However, the Englishman’s goals certainly do help them boast a better expected goal per game record than the previous campaign – with the current rate of 2.32 bettering last year’s total of 2.24. 

They also average marginally fewer shots in total (18.4 per game last year compared to 18.3 this year) while the Bavarians have fallen drastically in their shots on target per game. 

In 2023-24, Bayern have averaged 6.9 shots on target per game which is a dramatic fall off from their 7.9 average last term. 

However, despite all of this, Bayern actually boast a higher win-rate this season than they did last. In 2022-23, they had a win rate of 67.3 per cent while this year, it is 71 per cent.
