'Our year': Kane and Bayern primed for Champions League tilt
MUNICH: Bayern Munich have made it clear their main goal this season is to win the Champions League after recent near-misses, with Harry Kane saying “it has to be our year.”
MUNICH: Bayern Munich are set on securing the Champions League title this season, following their close encounters last year. Harry Kane, the England captain, has declared it to be 'our year'. Last season, Bayern narrowly lost to eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final, with PSG winning 2-1 after a first-leg thriller that ended 5-4 for the French side.
The German giants start their quest for the trophy at home against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt on Thursday. Former Bayern player Bastian Schweinsteiger believes only a lack of squad depth could thwart their ambitions, while coach Vincent Kompany has reiterated the Champions League as the team's primary objective. Kane also echoed this sentiment, stating that they need to 'find a way to get it done'.
Luck with injuries and depth in the squad could play a crucial role in Bayern's chances, with recent additions Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown adding to their attacking options. However, the uncertainty surrounding midfielder Jamal Musiala, who has revealed he is suffering from a neurological disorder, may pose a challenge for the team.
