Harry Kane Has His Favorite to Win the Champions League
Bayern Munich’s Elimination Still Hurts
The season for Harry Kane has been nothing short of spectacular, although it ended with a huge European disappointment. Bayern Munich were eliminated in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain, the tournament’s reigning champion, and the English striker saw another opportunity to play in the biggest club final in world football slip away. Even so, after the match, the forward made it clear who he believes is the favorite to lift the famous trophy.
Following the game, “The Hurricane” acknowledged the level of the Parisian side and stated that PSG deserves to start with a slight advantage because of its status as defending champion. “PSG, as champions, have the right to be slight favorites,” said Kane, who also emphasized that the final will be extremely balanced due to the quality of both teams.
Kane Expects a Thrilling Final
The English striker knows perfectly well the potential of the finalists and believes fans are guaranteed a great spectacle. “That’s the beauty of football: anything can lead you to victory,” he added, making it clear that despite naming a favorite, he sees only a minimal difference between the two clubs.
However, behind his words, the frustration over Bayern Munich’s elimination is still evident. Kane admitted the blow remains difficult to process and even confessed he is unsure whether he will watch the final because of the disappointment of coming so close.
And for good reason. The Englishman is enjoying the best season of his career and has established himself as one of the leading candidates for the Ballon d’Or. Against PSG, he was one of Bayern Munich’s most dangerous players and even scored to bring his team closer on the scoreboard, although it was not enough to force extra time.
A Historic Season for the English Star
His numbers are astonishing: 55 goals in 48 matches, the best scoring tally of his entire professional career. Since arriving at Bayern Munich, Harry Kane has continued to grow and has become the Bavarian club’s main attacking reference, maintaining an elite scoring rate season after season.
Now, after once again falling just short of European glory, Kane will look to finish the year at the highest level and carry this extraordinary form into the next FIFA World Cup.
