Kane pain at Real’s fightback

BAYERN Munich striker Harry Kane said the 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final is “a little disappointing” – but he has full belief they can qualify next week.

Madrid hit the front against the run of play in the 24th minute when Toni Kroos’ magnificent through ball found Vinicius Jr, who tucked home coolly to give the away side a half-time lead.

Bayern scored twice in four second-half minutes, through Leroy Sane and a Kane penalty.

But the Spaniards came from behind once again courtesy of Vinicius Jr’s spot-kick to leave it all square heading into the second leg.

Kane said: “It’s a little disappointing. Once we got 2-1 ahead we had two or three good chances, especially from set plays, but this is a Champions League semi-final.

“Real Madrid are one of the best teams in Europe and they can punish you with one or two actions. Of course we are disappointed we didn’t get the win but it’s all to play for next week.”

Kane’s strike extended his tally to 43 goals from as many games in his first season at Munich.

The England captain admitted the campaign has not quite gone their way, losing the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen, but the big games are the reason he made the switch from Tottenham.

He said: “Everything we are fighting for this year is in this competition, so you have just got to find a way to get it done.

“I’m here for many years, it’s not just a oneoff year I’ve come for, but the expectation at the start of the year was to win trophies.

“This is exactly why I came, I want to play in these big games, these big moments, and there’s no bigger than next week.”
