Harry Kane (30) also scored in the Champions League semi-final – and then talked about his next goal.
He is chasing Robert Lewandowski’s 41-goal record in the Bundesliga and the first title of his career in the Champions League. Before the European Championship begins in June, Harry Kane still has a lot to do. Hopefully, from the striker’s point of view.
Bayern’s top scorer smiled a lot on Tuesday evening after the 2-2 draw in the semi-final first leg against Real Madrid, but he was still not entirely satisfied. “When you lead 2-1 in such an important game and don’t win, there’s always a bit of disappointment,” said Kane, looking straight ahead: “We can take a lot of positives with us. “
A “very good” step
Similar to three weeks ago in London, when the first quarter-final against Arsenal also ended 2-2. “We completed three steps quite well,” said Kane. “Two against Arsenal and one today. But now it’s all about next week. There will be phases where we will have the ball. And there will be phases where we really have to be wary of their transition game. “
Nevertheless, the 30-year-old attacker’s confidence prevails after an emotionally charged evening. “Bayern Munich against Real Madrid in a Champions League semi-final, it doesn’t get much bigger than that,” he said happily. “That’s the experience I want to take with me. That’s what I came here for, to have these opportunities. “
“I know you’re going to shoot to the left “
And, of course, the chance to play your very own “Final dahoam”. In exactly one month’s time, the final of the Premier League will take place at Wembley Stadium, the home of the English national team. “It’s in the back of my mind,” admits Kane. “I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a dream of mine to play a Champions League final at Wembley.”
He himself wants to make sure he reaches this final with his next competitive goal – he has now scored 43. “I feel good, I’m in good form and I’m confident. I’ll get chances and hopefully take a few.”
Like the one from the penalty spot to make it 2:1 against Madrid. Jude Bellingham, Kane’s national team colleague, had tried to talk his captain down, but “at that moment I didn’t understand it at all”, Kane explained later. “I spoke to him after the game and he said: ‘I know you’re going to shoot to the left’. The penalty was quite good, I saw the goalkeeper move a bit earlier.” And shot to the left
