Harry Kane has urged Bayern Munich to channel their Champions League disappointment into a determined push for silverware in the DFB-Pokal final.
The England captain scored a late goal in the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, but it was not enough as Bayern exited the competition 6-5 on aggregate. The semi-final elimination ended their hopes of European glory this season.
In a message posted on X shortly after the defeat, Kane acknowledged the pain of the exit while immediately pivoting to the remaining opportunity. “Not the night we believed in yesterday. These games come down to moments and unfortunately over the two legs we didn’t take enough of ours,” he wrote.
Kane continued: “Proud to be part of this team and club, the disappointment will be with us for a while but we have to stay focused on finishing the season strong with a final still to play. Thanks for the support as always and can’t wait to see the fans in Berlin!”
Bayern Munich will face VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion on May 23. The match offers Kane and his teammates a chance to salvage a domestic double, having already wrapped up the Bundesliga title.
The striker’s swift shift in mindset highlights his leadership and professionalism. Despite another prolific campaign — including goals in every Champions League knockout tie — Kane is determined to end the season on a high note rather than dwell on the European exit.
