Harry Kane has described his team’s defeat to PSG on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in the Champions League semi-final first leg as a crazy game but believes they still have everything to play for in the return leg in Bayern’s Allianz Arena on Wednesday, April 6, 2026.
The Bavarians fell to a narrow 5-4 defeat in the first leg in what is just the tip of the iceberg of the goals-galore encounter.
The Germans were forced to battle back from a 5-2 deficit after going in front through the Englishman’s opener from the spot.
A stunned Paris responded in style with goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, João Neves, and Ousmane Dembélé’s double, making it 5-2 after halftime.
Character
“It is hard to be happy after a loss. We felt like we could have won the game, and we believed, but when you’re 5-2 away from home, to show the character we showed to claw our way back in the tie is remarkable, and now since we scored nine goals, it is 1-0 to go to the Allianz Arena next week,” he told CBS Sports.
With the tie delicately poised, the England talisman is looking hopeful ahead of the return leg at their home turf.
Vincent Kompany’s lads will be looking to eliminate the competition holders after kicking out Real Madrid in the quarterfinal stage.
“It was a crazy game; a lot happened and a lot to digest, and improve on. We have to believe in it. Of course, we scored four goals away from home, and they have to come to the Allianz, and we have to make it our fortress next week,” he added.
Return leg
His remarks come after the Belgian gaffer also challenged the club fanbase to make a hostile reception for the champions when they visit the Allianz for the return leg clash.
Speaking after Tuesday’s clash, Kompany challenged Bayern Munich fans to give everything to the home clash that comes with a stake in the final at stake.
The second leg is at home, and I request that anyone who has bought a ticket and doesn’t feel good stay home. Let them give it to some of the fittest who can generate the atmosphere at Allianz Arena,” Kompany said.
Give everything
“It is important that 70 thousand fans at Allianz Arena can give everything. It is all about winning, not one to two goals, but only with that support we can achieve that,” he stated.
