FootballBayern who came into the Bundesliga fixture aiming to banish the memories of their 3-0 Supercup loss to RB Leipzig, wrapped up an emphatic 4-0 win at the Weserstadion.
Captain of the team Kimmich did not hold back his admiration for new signing Kane.
Speaking to media outlet Kicker and quoted by @iMiaSanMia on Twitter, the midfielder said:
“He is very good for our game because he’s a player who can both finish and put the other players in the limelight.
I think our other attacking players will benefit a lot from Harry because he’s not a striker who just finishes but also sets the stage for the others, as we saw with Leroy’s goal.
He will give the others more space because the opponents have to focus on him due to his very big quality. Overall, he will do us a lot of good.”
