Harry Kane was devastated after the final whistle that signaled the end of Bayern Munich’s European journey. The Bavarians lost 6-5 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain on a night where the shortcomings of Bayern and the match officials sealed their fate. Many were hoping to reach the final in Budapest, Kane included, yet he refuses to label the season as a bust.
“It hurts now, but you can’t be judged on just one game,” Kane said (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “We’ve had a fantastic season
so far. We have the chance to win the double. And of course, there’s the World Cup to look forward to. From our perspective, we can be proud of what we’ve achieved so far. We’re always striving for improvement. The coach is working tirelessly to help us develop, and we need to internalize that mentality for our style of football.”
The DFB-Pokal has eluded Bayern for six years, and it’s their chance to bring it back home. However, there’s something about being a goal (or maybe two) away from a major European final and instead having to settle for a domestic cup that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
