‘I almost felt a little embarrassed’ – Harry Kane on being given a guard of honor by Bayern Munich
Humble as ever, the FC Bayern frontman found his newfound praise a somewhat surreal experience
Ahead of Bayern Munich's DFB-Pokal clash against FC Magdeburg, the team formed a guard of honor for newly crowned 2026 Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane. The English footballer was greeted by applause and cheers as he emerged from the tunnel, an experience he found surprising. Harry admitted, "It was quite strange. I don't usually enjoy this sort of thing very much."
He added, "When I came out for the warm-up and everyone was standing there applauding, I don't know… I felt almost a little bit embarrassed." Despite his short cameo on the bench, Bayern Munich secured a convincing 6-1 victory, advancing to the next round. Their next challenge is the highly anticipated Der Klassiker this weekend, a crucial match to claim the top spot in the Bundesliga.
