Harry Kane delivers when Bayern desperately need his goals. After the 3-0 win in the Champions League against Lazio Rome, the Englishman can continue to dream of “his” final at Wembley.
“Nights like these can change a season,” said Kane, feeling lucky about reaching the quarter-finals on Prime Video. He spoke of “a perfect night” for him and the German soccer record champions. Kane’s dream goal is still a long way away, but at least it remains within reach: It’s London, Wembley Stadium, the Champions League final on June 1st.
The center forward, who scored his premier class goals five and six in the Bayern jersey in the Allianz Arena, raved about a “top, top performance”. In 33 games this season he has now scored 33 goals – a fantastic rate. “That’s why we brought him in,” said Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen about the royal transfer. Last summer, the Munich team paid a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros for the first time for the striker signed by Tottenham Hotspur.
Kane hits head and foot
Against Lazio, the captain of the English national team scored 1-0 with his head and 3-0 with his foot. Twice he was in exactly the right place in the penalty area. “The first goal was about presence in the box and the number of players in the box,” said Kane. “It felt good to push the ball in. The second goal was similar: presence in the box.”
Kane left the Allianz Arena a happy man – and was also proud of his colleagues. Now it’s about “keeping the momentum,” warned the man of the match.
