Tottenham struggles against Bayern in summer friendly

Tottenham Hotspur faced Bayern Munich in their final pre-season match at the Allianz Arena on Thursday, resulting in mixed performances from their players. The match featured notable players including Spurs' Harry Kane and Bayern's new signing Joao Palhinha, who played against their parent club after being loaned out. Kane scored an opening goal early, but his performance was marred by a missed penalty later. Bayern, despite dominating possession, struggled to find their rhythm, failing to put many attempts on target. Noteworthy moments included Richarlison’s attempts on goal and Cristian Romero’s frustration with the officiating, signaling a challenging half for Tottenham.

The player ratings reflect a team in transition under pressure. With new signings and key player capabilities in flux, Tottenham needs to find cohesion before the regular season starts. Kane's duality as a threat and missing the penalty raises concerns about reliance on him as a pivotal player. The struggles of players like Joao Palhinha and Cristian Romero point to a need for both strategic improvement and on-field chemistry, especially against a formidable team like Bayern Munich, which might indicate tough times ahead.

Highlights

Tottenham will need to regroup quickly to harness their potential before the season starts.
