In the first semi-final first leg the evening before, Harry Kane scored again and maintained his 100 percent rate from the penalty spot in the Bayern jersey. But that was little consolation for FC Bayern’s top scorer after the first semi-final round against Real Madrid. “The first feeling after a lead is of course disappointment,” said the 30-year-old Englishman after the missed home win thanks to Real’s late penalty equalizer to make it 2-2.
“We had the momentum and after 2-1 we had two or three good opportunities. The third goal would have been possible,” said Kane after the final whistle on Prime Video. Of course, Kane is not giving up his dream of the Champions League final in his hometown of London, where he scored his goals for Tottenham Hotspur for years until his 100 million euro move to Munich last summer. “We are ready for a great game next week away in Madrid. I look forward to it. The goal is two more games,” he said on Wednesday night.

England’s national team captain expects another “great game” in a week in Spain. “The most important thing for me is how we performed as a team,” he said. Namely at least on a par with Real. Kane’s moment in the first leg came in the 57th minute when, as usual, he converted with nerve from the spot. It was his sixth penalty for Bayern in the Bundesliga and premier class (3 each).
Kane now has 43 goals in 43 competitive games in his first Bayern season, 35 in the Bundesliga and eight in the premier class. He leads the goalscoring list in both competitions, clearly in the league, and in the Champions League on a par with France’s top star Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain.

But the big goal remains Wembley and finally winning a big title as a professional. “We can take a lot of positive things with us,” said Kane, with full focus on next week: “The winner at the Bernabeu goes to the final. It’s games like this that make you a professional.”
