We have a good enough team, a good enough squad to be able to do that but, as we know, it\u2019s difficult playing against the best teams in Europe throughout the whole season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The forward reflected on Bayern\u2019s recent near misses, including last season\u2019s painful quarter-final exit at the hands of Inter Milan. Missed chances proved costly then, and Kane underlined that turning dominance into goals at the key moments is the only way forward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We came close in my first season with Thomas [Tuchel] and now even last season was a disappointing way to go out against Inter Milan,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Over the two legs we felt we done enough but in the moments, we didn\u2019t take [chances], so it\u2019s just about building on that and get one step further than we did last year and hopefully go all the way. It\u2019s down to us. It\u2019s a long mountain climb ahead so it\u2019s just about trying to focus on this next league stage and trying to do the best in that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-ng\/lists\/harry-kane-bayern-munich-champions-league-england-captain-bundesliga-giants\/blt8c07e2dc68fb3585\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kane cut a no-nonsense figure when speaking to TNT Sports, making Bayern\u2019s ambitions crystal clear:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
