“One of my best games”: Even Kane amazed by his Bayern form | OneFootball

Harry Kane is currently almost unstoppable – and not just as a goal scorer. Against Borussia Dortmund, the Englishman once again showcased his class in all its facets. The reactions after the match left no doubt: Kane is already much more than just a nearly 100-million-euro striker at Bayern.

In the 2-1 victory over BVB, the 32-year-old took responsibility in almost every area of the pitch. He scored the opening goal with a header, set up the second goal with a dream pass, tackled, fought, and directed the game. “That was one of the best games of my career,” Kane said after the final whistle.

He also explained why: “Above all, because I adapted to the game in different ways. I enjoyed this role. It was a physically demanding match because I played almost box-to-box in midfield. But thanks to my physical attributes, it suits me well. Of course, I’m still there to score goals, but this time I dropped a bit deeper – with and without the ball. It was also about defending, about second balls, and my long passing game. In the end, it was another good win, and I’m happy with the three points.”

Teammates and officials were equally impressed by his performance. Max Eberl especially highlighted the striker’s importance to the team: “He’s simply a leader.” Kane is “a head of this team,” and the way he puts himself at its service is simply “outstanding.” Impressive statistics backed up his performance: 70 touches of the ball – but only three of them in the penalty area. In addition, he won 77 percent of his duels, ran 11.6 kilometers, and made 48 passes.

“Incredible passes” and impressive numbers

Jan-Christian Dreesen also found clear words for the Englishman’s performance: “If someone had told us that Harry would get better from season to season, we probably would have paid even more.” The pass for the second goal especially thrilled the club boss: “It was madness,” he said, “incredible.”

Twelve goals in seven league games also speak for themselves – more than all the players in the entire attacking lines of RB Leipzig or VfB Stuttgart in the same period. Joshua Kimmich praised: “What he gives the team is outstanding.”

And Kane himself? He’s already thinking about a longer future in Munich – without putting himself under pressure. “I’m in no hurry,” he made clear, but also emphasized: “I’m happy at Bayern Munich – and you can see that in the way I play.”
