Kane has made his first mistake at Bayern (Picture: Getty)
Harry Kane hasn’t put a foot wrong on the pitch since moving to Bayern Munich last summer – but unfortunately the same can’t be said of events off it.
The England captain, who has scored 27 goals for the German giants so far this season, paid a visit to a Bayern Munich fan club in Kirchweidach, Upper Bavaria, on Sunday.
The mistake came about when Kane, who will be back in Germany this summer with England for Euro 2024, was asked by a fan to name his favourite animal.
‘The lion is my favourite animal,’ Kane said, seemingly unaware that he had just put his foot right in it.
It was at this point that a moderator had to step in and explain to Kane that the lion was in fact the animal on the badge of Bayern’s local rivals TSV 1860 Munich.

Keen to stay in the good books of Bayern supporters, Kane quickly changed his mind and said: ‘Ah, okay. Just a dog.’
Thankfully the 400-strong Bayern faithful could see the funny side of Kane’s innocuous mistake, with a sea of laughter sweeping across the hall.
The event also saw fans serenade Kane with a song to the tune of the Christmas classic ‘Jingle bells’.
Those in attendance sang: ‘Harry Kane, Harry Kane, Harry all the way.
‘Oh what fun it is to see, Harry scores again!’
The visit came just one day after Kane found the net against fellow Bavarian club Augsburg, scoring Bayern’s third goal in the 3-2 win.
The goal ended something of a mini drought for Kane, having gone two Bundesliga games without finding the back of the net since scoring against Hoffenheim on January 12.
His goalless returns against Werder Bremen and Union Berlin was the first time in Kane’s Bayern Munich career that he had gone two league games without scoring.
Thomas Tuchel’s men are two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, with the two teams meeting in the Bundesliga on February 10.
