TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Harry Kane admitted he was disappointed with the result of his team’s match, Bayern Munich versus Real Madrid in the first leg of the semifinals Liga Champions on Wednesday morning WIB. Playing in front of their supporters at the Allianz Arena, they could only draw 2-2.
In that match, Bayern conceded first. Vinicius Junior put Madrid ahead in the 23rd minute after taking advantage of a beautiful assist from Toni Kroos.
Hosts Bayern then bullied in the second half. They were able to score two goals shortly after the match resumed. Leroy Sane scored the equalizer in the 53rd minute. Then, a goal from Harry Kane’s penalty kick in the 57th minute put The Bavarians ahead.
At this moment, Kane regretted that Bayern were unable to score a third goal to seal the victory until El Real instead received a penalty in the 83rd minute. Vinicius, who was appointed as algono, did not waste his duties.
“It feels disappointing. We had momentum, and when we were 2-1 up, we had two or three good chances. That third goal would have been very important,” Kane said on Bayern’s website on Wednesday.
The two teams will face each other again in the second leg of the last four of the European Championship next week at the Santiago Bernabeu. This will be the match that determines the team that will appear in the final match which will be held at Wembley Stadium, London.

Real Madrid, who will appear in front of their own supporters, will have a slight advantage. However, Kane stated his readiness to face the decisive match at home to his opponent.
Coach Thomas Tuchel stated that the chances of both teams to qualify were still equally strong following a draw in the first leg even though Real Madrid would play at home in the second leg. “We have to win to reach Wembley. The situation is still 50-50,” said Tuchel.
In another match, Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will duel in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals on Thursday morning WIB, 2 May 2024. The Bundesliga giants will first play at home before playing the match in Paris last week.
