The German media have wasted no time in ripping into Harry Kane following Bayern Munich's crushing 3-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday night.
Thomas Tuchel's side had gone into the game hoping to boost their chances of winning the Bundesliga.
But Leverkusen, who are unbeaten under manager Xabi Alonso this season, were comfortable winners on home soil.
Goals from Josip Stanisic, Alex Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong gave Leverkusen all three points - meaning they're now five points clear at the summit.

And reports in Germany have wasted no time in slamming Kane, who had just 18 touches as his side crashed to defeat.
BILD said the former Tottenham star's performance was a 'catastrophe', with a headline reading: "The Kane disaster."
It said 'he was actually brought in for games like this'.
And they also dubbed Kane's performance his worst for the club since his blockbuster arrival back in the summer.
They gave him a six out of 10 and added: "Kane wasn't in the game at all. No goal, no assist - BILD grade 6!
"Only his effort was right: he ran 10.8km, only Mazraoui ran more for Bayern.
"He should win the top scorer cannon. But he came to Bayern to win championships..."
Bayern are already out of the DFB-Pokal.
And with the club trailing Leverkusen by five points with 13 games to go, Kane's hopes of a maiden career title are hanging by a thread.
It wasn't meant to be like this, with the England captain leaving Tottenham in order to pursue the silverware he craves.
Bayern have won the Bundesliga for the past 11 years in a row.
Yet the Champions League now seems to represent their best chance of a trophy, with both Kane and Tuchel under pressure.
Kane fronted up to Sky Sports after Bayern were ruthlessly dispatched by Alonso's side.
The 30-year-old admitted the performance from his team wasn't good enough, though did say Bayern would do everything they can to turn the situation around.
"We didn’t play well with the ball," he said. "I thought the pressure, especially in the first half and even in the second half, we pressed them well, but every time we won it back we gave it straight back to them.

"That allowed them to build momentum.
"In the final third we weren’t good in one-vs-one battles, we weren’t good in duels, the final delivery wasn’t there today, so a really disappointing day with the ball.
"We’re five points behind now but there are still a lot of games to go.
"This one hurts, we wanted a different outcome, but we have to focus on, first, the Champions League, and obviously the next game.
"There are a lot of games to be played and we have to try and make up as many points as we can, as quickly as we can."

When asked if Bayern were now underdogs, he continued: "That’s not for us to decide. That’s for everyone else to decide.
"For us, we have to focus on ourselves, we have to improve, we have to get better.
"We know that. The games are coming thick and fast so we have to turn it around quick."
