BAYERN MUNICH director of sport Max Eberl lambasted Liverpool hero Dietmar Hamann after his stinging criticism of Harry Kane.
Hamann, 51, slammed Bayern superstar Kane, 31, after Wednesday’s 1-0 loss at Aston Villa in the Champions League claiming the England captain is unable to perform in big games.

The star striker’s performances have come under scrutiny after he failed to score against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last week and then at Villa Park.
And Hamann claims Kane has yet to justify the blockbuster £104million the Bavarians splashed to sign him from Tottenham last year.
The ex-Germany international wrote on his column published by Sky Germany: “Harry Kane had a personally sobering evening in Birmingham – in addition to the defeat.
“I said after the European Championship in the summer that he still has to prove that he is worth the 100million – even though he scored over 30 goals last year.
“He wasn’t brought in to score a hat-trick against Darmstadt.
“He was brought in to score against Leverkusen and Aston Villa and to score in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
“He hasn’t done that yet. I remain sceptical about the star striker.”
However, Eberl would have none of it as he lashed out at Hamann shortly after the Champions League loss.
The Bayern chief went as far as to compare the ex-Manchester City ace to “tinnitus in the ear”.
Eberl said: “Didi Hamann is like a tinnitus in the ear. It comes up every three days.”
Kane, though, has been a success at Bayern since his arrival last summer as he notched a staggering total of 44 goals and 12 assists in 45 appearances in his maiden campaign in Germany.
And the England international has already registered 10 goals and five assists in just eight appearances across all competitions this season.
