Harry Kane was never worried.
Bayern Munich took a while to get the break through, but eventually it did in Wednesday’s tight Champions League win over Portuguese club SL Benfica. Kane played his part with an assist across the face of goal for teammate Jamal Musiala, after a brilliant cross by Leroy Sané — and while that would be the game’s only score, Kane felt there could have been even more.
“We were completely dominant for pretty much the whole game. They didn’t cause us many problems at all,” Kane said after the game in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. “It’s really good to get the win for sure. We just lacked a little bit of composure in the final third to get the second or third goal. We’re playing a lot of games in a short space of time so to dominate the way we did is really pleasing.
“Sometimes we have fireworks and it’s 4-0, 5-0 and in other games you have to find a way. The ball just didn’t quite fall for us. Luckily for us, Jamal got the goal at the right time and then even from there we dominated and looked like the team that would get the next goal. We stayed calm, didn’t panic too much and ultimately it’s three points and they are important for us after the start we had.”
The win moves Bayern up in the Champions League table after two straight losses. Paris Saint-Germain is next.
