‘This is why I came here’ – Kane’s ‘blown everyone away’
Harry Kane just can’t stop scoring – now all he needs is a first career major trophy.
The England captain was on the scoresheet yet again – his 43rd goal in 43 games this season – as Bayern drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
Things could not have gone much better for him personally in his debut season for Bayern but it would be a disappointment not to cap off such a prolific campaign in front of goal with a long-awaited piece of silverware.
Bayer Leverkusen have already halted Bayern’s run of 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles this season but could Kane end his trophy drought by winning the Champions League instead?
“It’s been a good season so far,” said Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham for an initial £86.4m last summer.
“Everything we’re fighting for this year is in this competition. It’ll be tough. We have to go [to the Bernabeu for the second leg] with full belief.
“I’m here for many years. It’s not a one-off year I’m here for. Of course at the start of the season the expectation was to win trophies. The Champions League is the biggest one. If we can somehow get our hands on that one, it would be an amazing season.
“These are the big games. The atmosphere was incredible. This is exactly why I came here, I want to be playing in these big games, these big moments.”
