L'Équipe ↗How it started
Harry Kane brought his Ballon d'Or trophy onto the pitch at the Allianz Arena before Bayern Munich faced Borussia Dortmund on October 31. It was his first match since winning the award, according to The42.
The presentation gave the Bundesliga fixture an extra focus. L'Équipe reported that Kane showed the trophy to supporters before a match that ended with Bayern held to a 2-2 draw.
How it unfolded
On October 31, the celebration gave way to frustration for Kane. His second-half penalty struck the crossbar, The42 reported.
Bayern were then denied victory by Fabio Silva's late equaliser. Sky Sports reported that Silva secured Dortmund's 2-2 draw in Der Klassiker.
On November 1, Soccer News Football reported that Kane felt he was never going to score in what he described as a strange match. Its account recorded six off-target attempts, including the penalty.
By November 2, Kane's attention had turned to Bayern's response and their Champions League meeting with Atlético Madrid. ESPN FC reported that he was determined to help the team through difficult moments in a season he described as a rollercoaster.
Contract talks also moved into focus. On November 2, Express & Star reported that Kane expected to sign a new Bayern deal within the next few days. On November 3, GOAL.com reported that he said an agreement was extremely close.
Where it stands
Bayern's celebration of Kane's individual award ended with a draw rather than a win. CBS Sports described Silva's late goal as keeping Dortmund in touch in the Bundesliga title race.
Kane has also made clear that European success is his next priority. BBC Football reported on November 2 that he would swap his Ballon d'Or trophy for a Champions League winner's medal.
His contract extension remains pending in the supplied coverage. GOAL.com reported on November 3 that an official announcement was expected in the coming days.
What to watch
The next test is Bayern's Champions League meeting with Atlético Madrid. ESPN FC reported that Kane was focused on helping Bayern come through their more difficult moments as they prepared for that match.
The other concrete development to watch is confirmation of his new contract. The latest report from Soccer News Football says an extension is extremely close, but does not report a completed deal.
