Kane's Tuxedo Tease: Ballon d'Or or Champions League?
21 Oct
Summary
- Bayern Munich's social media hinted at a major announcement with a tuxedo-clad Harry Kane.
- Fans speculated the post was a clue to Kane winning the Ballon d'Or award.
- The image was actually a teaser for an upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal.
Bayern Munich's English-language social media account ignited fan excitement by posting an image of Harry Kane dressed in a tuxedo, accompanied by the caption "It's almost Showtime." This led to widespread speculation among followers that the post was a hint towards Kane winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.
However, the club later revealed that the tuxedo photo was intended to tease their upcoming Champions League fixture against Arsenal. The post highlighted Kane's impressive statistics against the Gunners, noting he has scored 15 goals in 22 matches against them. Kane has scored against Arsenal for Bayern Munich in the recent Champions League quarter-final first leg, and many of his previous goals against them were scored during his time at Tottenham Hotspur.
The photograph itself originated from footage used to announce Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich in August 2023. The iconic cinema at Sendlinger Tor in Munich served as the backdrop for this announcement. Due to delays in Kane's transfer and arrival, a body double was used for the filming, with Bayern Munich later adding Kane digitally to the footage.
