After breaking several records for goal scoring and matches won this season, Bayern Munich was primed to conquer another continental treble. However, PSG proved to be just good enough to knock Bayern out of the Champions League. With the Bundesliga already in the bag, the DFB-Pokal final remains the most important game left in the season for Harry Kane and Bayern.
“It’s tough. We had enough chances today to reach the final. Now my focus is on the DFB-Pokal final. We have the chance to win the double,”
said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) after the 1-1 draw to PSG (6-5 aggregate). Kane’s lone goal came late in stoppage time. He left footed shot into the top corner was unstoppable. Bayern’s efforts to bridge the one goal deficit from the first leg fell short and was not enough to get past PSG.
VfB Stuttgart await Bayern in Berlin for the finals. The Pokal is one of the most unpredictable tournaments due to its knockout nature. The last time Bayern made the final, it was six years ago. This season, the dream of the treble was alive as Kompany’s men made it past the precarious rounds of the Pokal. However, with the UCL campaign done, all of Bayern’s efforts will be channeled to win a domestic double and end the season on a high note.
