Harry Kane He’s a man on a mission. Not only for Bayern Munich But also for yourself.
It’s simple: England The captain finally wants to win silver. Despite winning trophies and introducing in five finals, Kane has never tasted a big competition victory, a vanity run that even asked a question whether Kane, regardless of all its goals, was created for the biggest scene. These doubts followed him to Germany, where his first year with Bayern Munich ended the trophy-unobstructed performance for the 33-time German league.
“I looked at the giants of the game and what they were doing great, and it wasn’t just in the magic: it was a year after year,” Kane said ESPN exclusive.
“It was my great effort to be able to consistently be one of the best players in the world. And the ride will be with me until the end of my career, whether I end up with one trophy or 20 trophies.
Football, as well as professional sports in general, is all about opportunities and goals. The goal for Bayern is to win The UEFA Champions League The final of May 31, which will be played on their home country, Allianz Arena, for the second time in history.
First Dahoam finals (“Final at home”) in 2012 ended in heartbreaking loss of shot Chelsea. Kane who played himself Tottenham Hotspur in the finals 2019 and lost Liverpoolwas not signed just to score against Augsburg and Werder Bremens This world, but lead Bayern to the top of European football.
Kane is familiar with the pressure and the fact that a fertile shooter of goals like him does not have much praise during the season for the assembly of 20 or 30 goals. He is expected from him, but he is proud of what he has achieved no matter.
“There are a lot of people talking about football and commenting on football or doing things about football who don’t understand football so much,” he said. “I know there are games where I scored and did not play great, and I spoke them in this high light, and there are games where I scored and was one of the best players on the pitch.”
During the recent international breaks, Kane talked about his aura And the feeling of playing defenders against him. They could approach him a little differently because of what he represents, a huge price mark when he made his transfer to Bayern in 2023, England the bracelet and its recognition of the name.
“I don’t even know if the aura was the right word,” he said. “I just think to be on the big scene, more often than not, it just gives you a little more. And I think the more you can do it in the big nights, the more you respect.”
At least two big nights await Bayern in the form of two quarterfinal matches of the Champions League against Series and leading International. Then, either Barcelona or Borussia Dortmund would be the next in the semifinals. Quite opposition on the way to a possible final at home.
“(Victory in the Champions League) was my dream almost my whole life,” he said. “And we have the opportunity to do it this year. But also to do it at home in front of our fans in Allianz, I think it would be a bit special. And I think if you have the opportunity to do such things, it’s enthusiasm.”
While Bayern is mild popular against Inter, they are with some injuries like defenders Dayot upamecano and Alphonso Davies they both suffered Knee injuryWhich could cause the match to be still fascinating.
“The expectations are to win everything every season. I felt it last year,” he said. “We didn’t win anything, and there was a lot of noise around the club, and probably right. So when you’re in these clubs, expectations are high not only for yourself but for the team.”
But when it comes to his own performance and solving expectations and criticism, it is all about the perspective in Kane’s eyes.
“I feel there were a lot of great moments,” he said. “I gave people a lot of joy over the years, and I hope that even more joy is supposed to come, but in the end, when I do what I do, I know I will be considered the best player, but also as the best person.”
It is a kind of mature attitude, thanks to which Kane was the highest goal for Bayern in 2023, except for his unquestionable talent on the pitch, making it a perfect representative for a globally operating club. At the same time there is a maturity that brings to Bayern’s attack full of rising stars, especially Jamal Musiala and Michael Olis. These two are usually Kane’s driving force, while the Englishman is their target player, whether it is right on the Offside line or a little deeper.

Harry Kane is not sure of the Return of the Premier League
In an exclusive interview with ESPN Harry Kane this summer, the rumors of returning to the Premier League of Bayern Munich.
When Kane asked about Musial, he couldn’t be a 22 -year -old star.
“He’s a great person, above all,” he said. “It is obvious that still extremely young but willing to learn, willing to work hard, and he only has a good side to him, a good fun side that I think everyone loves. And then on the pitch is one of the best I played with.”
It is not a bad praise because Kane has played with many brilliant players in Tottenham As England over the years.
It was said that it hit it quite well with younger teammates, but also with club veterans as Thomas Müller Who, according to things, will not continue as a player for Bayern in June. One thing Müller may not be so helpful is Kane’s progress in German learning.
“I think I am quite spoiled as an Englishman,” he said. “It is obvious that many people speak English around the world and it somehow opens their eyes to learn a new language and how difficult it is for other people who learn English. I have heard (Müller) German is quite strong and quite difficult to understand for the Germans.
German learning is just a way to connect even better in its everyday life in Munich. He confessed that the first months without his family in Munich were quite difficult, but now settled. Whether this means not returning to England to potentially break Premier League The record of the target held by Alan Shearer remains in the air.
“I have said all my whole career, I’m not someone who likes to think too far forward,” he said. “I’m extremely happy here. I think we have a fantastic team, a fantastic coaching staff, and I just feel, even though I feel like I’m in the best condition, I want to play at the highest level. And that’s as high as it gets.”
