The German press have torn into Harry Kane after Bayern Munich suffered a dreadful 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday night.
Thomas Tuchel's side headed into the crunch clash with just two points separating them from their Bundesliga title rivals.
However, Bayern endured a disastrous evening as they were hammered thanks to goals Josip Stanisic, Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong. To add insult to injury, Stanisic is currently on loan at Leverkusen from Bayern.
The result means Xabi Alonso's side - who remain unbeaten - are five points clear of Bayern with 13 games to go, and the German giants are now in danger of missing out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2011-12, having won it for 11 consecutive seasons.
And, following the clash, several of Bayern's stars were slammed by the German media, including Kane.
German outlet BILD labelled his performance a 'catastrophe', while a headline to one article read: 'The Kane disaster'.
It went on to add: 'He was actually brought in for games like this,' before it later said: 'Harry Kane and his worst game in a Bayern jersey.'
In total, the England skipper took just 18 touches across the 90 minutes and had one shot as Bayern achieved an xG of 0.27 despite having 62 per cent of possession.
Bild's report went onto criticise Kane further for his inefficiency against Leverkusen's defenders, while highlighting how Alonso's outfit deserved the victory, with Tuchel left bemoaning 'the lack of power at the front' of his team.
It continued: 'Kane wasn't in the game at all. No goal, no assist – BILD grade 6!
'Only his effort was right: he ran 10.8 km, only Mazraoui ran more for Bayern.
'He should win the top scorer cannon. But he came to Bayern to win championships...'
Kane's £100m move to Germany in the summer did indeed come with the aim of winning trophies as, despite being one of the best strikers of his generation, the 30-year-old is yet to lift any silverware in his career.
But with their title challenge faltering, and Bayern out of the DFB Pokal and having failed to win the German Super Cup, this drought could continue, although Bayern remain in the Champions League.
Despite the significant criticism Kane faced after the Leverkusen defeat, he has enjoyed a sensational season.
The 30-year-old has 28 goals and eight assists in 28 appearances in all competitions and even with Saturday's blank, Kane has netted 24 times in 21 league games.
But, a dire display in their biggest game of the season so far has attracted significant outcry, with Bayern star Thomas Muller hitting out at his team-mates post-game, hinting that all is not well among the squad.
Speaking to Sky Sports Germany, he fumed: 'There are of course some symptoms on the pitch. To be honest, I'm p***ed off.
'To quote Oliver Kahn: What I miss from us players are the b***s in the game. We are showing significantly better approaches in training.
'It's okay to feel pressure, but there needs to be energy and freedom. That's missing in our game.'
He continued: 'Sometimes we have to speak about us players. It's not just about the coach.
'We have many international players at the highest level, we need to step up our game.'
Thomas Tuchel refused to give up on the title race after the match and echoed Muller's words for improved application among his squad.
He added: 'We are not going to throw the towel on whatever matchday. For us the gap has changed, but the approach won't.
'We have to keep going, we have to get better and live up to the standards that Thomas (Muller) has also formulated.'
Saturday's result came after the first league meeting between the title rivals ended in a 2-2 draw back in September and Kane did score on that occasion.
Bayern return to action on Wednesday when they face Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, before they travel to Bochum in the Bundesliga next Sunday.
