Kane on Bayern’s broken run: “Maybe not such a bad thing” | OneFootball

A last-minute goal by Harry Kane saved FC Bayern from their first defeat after 16 consecutive competitive wins. In the 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, the English superstar scored in the 93rd minute to secure the final score – and appeared surprisingly calm about the end of the winning streak after the match.

"Of course, we want to win every game, but such a streak can also build pressure," Kane explained in an interview with Sky. "Maybe it's not so bad that it ends now – as long as it's not with a defeat."

Kane spoke openly about the difficult conditions at the Alte Försterei: "It was a typical battle game with many long balls and set pieces. The pitch was terrible, the ball was bouncing everywhere."

The 31-year-old was also not entirely satisfied with the referee's decisions: "Many small decisions – fouls, corners – went against us. But that's part of football." According to Kane, Bayern only found their rhythm as the game progressed after a weak start: "The first 30 minutes were not good, but then we got into the game better. We fought our way in and deserved the point."

Union took the lead twice through Danilho Doekhi (27th, 83rd), with Luis Díaz (38th) and finally Kane (90+3) scoring for Munich. Kane was particularly annoyed by the second goal conceded: "I wanted to clear the ball but unfortunately shot it into the opponent."

The relief over the late equalizer was all the greater: "It shows our morale and determination – we never give up. It was important not to go into the international break with a defeat."

With the 2-2 draw, the German record champions missed the historic start record of ten consecutive Bundesliga wins but remain unbeaten and confidently at the top of the table (28 points).
