Harry Kane has called on Bayern Munich to begin their Champions League campaign with early wins to avoid the stressful playoff route they faced last season. The England captain, who scored twice in Bayern’s 5-0 Bundesliga win over Hamburg to reach eight goals this season, will lead the line against Club World Cup champions Chelsea on Wednesday.
After the thumping 5-0 Bundesliga win over Hamburg at the weekend, where Harry Kane scored twice to take his tally to eight goals this season, Bayern Munich are turning their focus to the Champions League. The German champions host Chelsea at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, and Kane has issued a rallying call for a strong start. The England captain stressed the importance of avoiding the “stressful period” Bayern endured last season, when they were forced into an extra playoff due to an inconsistent group stage.
Kane believes early momentum is vital, noting that six wins or five victories with some draws would be enough to ease qualification pressure. With Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies sidelined, the onus will be on Kane to deliver in front of goal, especially against a Chelsea side fresh from winning the FIFA Club World Cup under Enzo Maresca.
Vincent Kompany’s men will rely heavily on their talisman to spearhead the attack and set the tone for another European campaign. The clash between Bayern and Chelsea promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the opening round, and a win would put the Bavarians firmly on course to progress smoothly in their pursuit of a seventh Champions League crown.
