Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane's focus is tested as he prepares for a crucial Champions League match against Celtic, while simultaneously contending with a tight Bundesliga title race.
Bayern Munich star Harry Kane was unexpectedly asked to prioritize Celtic during a post-match interview, despite the impending Bundesliga title battle. The England football legend was questioned on an international feed broadcast by Sky Sports regarding his potential focus on either the Champions League clash against Celtic at Parkhead or the upcoming Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen.
This query arose shortly after Bayern's 3-0 victory over Werder Bremen, where Kane netted a brace of penalty goals. A reporter inquired, 'If you allow us to skip the game in Glasgow, the next one will be against Bayer Leverkusen. You didn’t win the last ones against them. What needs to change?' However, it seemed that considering Celtic as anything less than crucial was not an option for Kane. He expressed his eagerness for the trip to Glasgow, even as he achieved a remarkable feat by surpassing Alan Shearer's record of eight seasons with 20-plus league goals. On social media, preceding the match against Brendan Rodgers' side, Kane wrote, 'Getting the job done! Another good win at home. Roll on Wednesday.'The Allianz Arena witnessed a night of heightened emotions as fans staged protests against kickoff times, chanting 's***** DFL' and displaying a banner stating, “Werder Bremen: Friday in Munich – Friday in Freiburg. DFL: Enemies of the fans – enough is enough! Keep to the 300 KM rule on Friday!” Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, when pressed about the significance of 'bigger games' against Celtic and Bayer Leverkusen, subtly reminded the interviewer that every match holds immense importance in Munich. He stated: 'You started so well by saying 'every game is a big game', so you have basically given the answer. I don't think you win as much as we have won so far if you make too much distinction.' 'I think you have to raise your level, always. But I think that is consistent, throughout the season. The opponents we play against, we are looking forward to it. It is a team who wants big challenges, it is a great opportunity.'
