At a time when Paris, plunged into polar cold, contemplates the first snowflakes of the season, storm Harry Kane continues to sweep away everything in its path across the Rhine. On the front of the Bavarian attack, the English international (103 caps, 69 goals) thus offered himself a new recital, Friday evening, during the reception of Augsburg (3-0). After a double from the penalty spot (63rd, 90+3), the former Tottenham gunner completed his work at the end of added time in the second half by scoring a little gem. On a surgical cross from Goretzka around six meters, the London native stretched out his leg to control and eliminate Labrovic before finishing, with a header, into the empty goal (90+5th). Enough to wake up the Allianz Arena a little more but above all confirm the current state of grace of the Munich number 9.
“We told ourselves at half-time that we had to continue to create chances. Luckily we got the penalty and from there the game opened up. We have a big week ahead of us with PSG in the Champions League, Dortmund and Leverkusen in the Cup. We are in a good period, we feel good and we must continue our momentum”rejoiced the man who became, after only 43 matches, the fastest player in the history of the Bundesliga to reach 50 goals in the league. With 20 goals scored and 9 assists delivered in 17 matches in all competitions, BL’s current top scorer never ceases to impress. A disconcerting composure allowing the Rekordmeister to consolidate his first place in the championship and build confidence before welcoming Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday evening, as part of the 5th day of the Champions League.
A permanent danger
“We always want to play against the best teams. PSG is a great match, then Dortmund is a classic. But the focus is always on the next match. It is important to be fresh before the match against PSG. We managed to strengthen our confidence thanks to today’s victory (Friday evening, editor’s note)”specified, in this regard, Vincent Kompany. 17th in the group phase with 6 points taken in the first four outings (two victories and two defeats), Jamal Musiala’s teammates will logically be keen to continue against the Parisians, 25th and more than ever under pressure before go to Bavaria. A shock which could, once again, allow Kane to stand out on a European scale. Author of a quadruplet during his team’s offensive festival against Dinamo Zagreb (9-2), the 1m88 right-hander remained silent on the pitch at Aston Villa (0-1) before sinking against FC Barcelona (1 -4) despite a new realization during the first act.
Decisive passer on the only goal of the match during the reception of Benfica, the 31-year-old center forward will, as such, constitute one of the main Bavarian threats for the Rouge et Bleu. “You can defend extremely well against him for most of the game but it only takes three, four or five minutes when there is a bit of space, he knows exactly what to do in those moments. Certainly, two of his goals were scored from the penalty spot but I remain convinced that he still represents a danger. We feel it, we can’t give him a lot of space. That’s why, from his point of view, he probably wasn’t surprised to score a goal or two late in the game. He is a player who makes the most of his opportunities and remains a constant threat.assured the Bavarian technician with this in mind regarding his serial scorer. PSG has been warned. At the risk of further compromising its European future, the capital club will have to watch Harry Kane, like milk on the fire, from the first to the last second…
