Ballon d'Or winner Kane unhappy with his play

MUNICH - Bayern Munich's Harry Kane expressed dissatisfaction with his own performance in their 2-2 home draw with Borussia Dortmund, following his recent triumph as the Ballon d'Or winner. The draw has left both teams tied atop the Bundesliga table at 18 points, with Bayern leading on goal difference. Kane, who won the prestigious award in London, acknowledged that his performance was not his best or the team's best, but emphasized that such ups and downs are part of being a striker.

He missed a crucial penalty in the second half and made an errant pass that led to Dortmund's equalizer. Kane revealed that there would be a special presentation of the Ballon d'Or award with the England team during November's international break. Despite his slow start, with only eight Bundesliga games played and four goals to his name, Kane has turned into a provider, delivering six assists.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Dayot Upamecano scoring the late goal for Bayern and Fabio Silva equalizing for Dortmund. Bayern will face Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, but may be short-staffed, especially up front, due to injuries to key players like Michael Olise, Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, and Luis Diaz.
