The Bayern Munich juggernaut prevailed over Borussia Dortmund in the first Der Klassiker of the season. Striker Harry Kane left his impact on the game with a crucial goal in the first half. With the game ending 2-1, Kane’s header broke the deadlock against a steely BVB defense.
Speaking after the game( as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the Bayern coach outlined the all-round aspect of Kane’s performance. “It was another complete performance by him today. Of course with his goal, he is and stays Harry Kane.
But also in the build-up, in defending, tackling. A very complete performance. The other guys also did very well and spent a lot of energy, but Harry is in a very good phase at the moment. We’re all enjoying it” said VK.
Kane was once again crucial in the build-up phase. With 8 passes into the final third, Kane’s vision and skill with the ball were fantastic. That, coupled with 5 recoveries, the Bayern number 9 has redefined the scope of what a striker can do.
Bayern Munich got off to a rousing start during its 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the latest edition of Der Klassiker, but it was a nervy ending for the Bavarians.
The home side appeared to wear down and wilt under pressure from Borussia Dortmund as the game went on, but it was a gutty effort to even preserve the win under what many would consider to be a shaky second half. Head coach Vincent Kompany will have to find a way to deal with the weariness of his boys, but for now, let’s talk about how it all played out.
