"Harry Kane said it himself, it was one of the best performances in his whole career. He started the game behind Nicolas Jackson, who was playing because Serge Gnabry was injured. In the second half, when they were under pressure and all hands were to the pump, they all had to defend,"
"He made two clearances in the box and a sliding tackle 20 yards from goal to stop Dortmund from getting a shot off. He did everything. It was an all-round, absolutely outstanding performance. He also scored the first goal in a 2-1 win. He just seems to be enjoying his football at the moment."
"To win the Ballon d'Or he needs a very good season, which he obviously has set a brilliant start, scoring a lot of goals already. I think you've got to go to the semi in both competitions because there will be somebody who scores a couple in the Champions League final or the World Cup final. So, you know, what he does in the league is great, but we shouldn't forget that Bayern Munich won the league, I think, 12 times in the last 13 years. So the league is one thing, but where these titles are given out is the Champions League and the World Cup and that's where he has to perform."
Kane produced one of the best performances of his career, starting behind Nicolas Jackson before contributing defensively with two clearances and a 20-yard sliding tackle, and scoring the opening goal in a 2-1 win. The display combined defensive work and goal-scoring, indicating strong form and enjoyment of football. Ballon d'Or contention requires exceptional seasons and deep runs in the Champions League and World Cup, as league success alone is common for Bayern. Bayern have won the league 12 of the last 13 seasons. Bayern now return focus to the Bundesliga as Bayer Leverkusen visit the Allianz Arena.
