Harry Kane reflects on Bayern Munich’s first Bundesliga loss: ‘We didn’t kill the game’

Bayern Munich has finally lost their unbeaten Bundesliga record this Saturday by losing 2-1 against FC Augsburg in a match where the Bavarians failed to kill the game when they were ahead. In a postgame interview (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern striker Harry Kane blamed the team’s lack of effectiveness, which in his opinion, ended up punishing them. “Our first half was okay. I think we deserved the lead, and we also had moments where we could have actually decided the game. Our final touch wasn’t quite clean, the final pass was lacking, and their goalkeeper made some good saves. And at 1-0, the game is always open, no matter who you’re playing against; you can be punished for it.”

However, Kane thinks this hiccup was only caused by exhaustion due to a recently packed schedule, and hopes to move on and achieve a good result on Wednesday in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven. “In the second half, we lacked a bit of energy; we weren’t as fluid with the ball. Respect to our opponents: they put on more pressure and made it difficult for us. It’s been a tough stretch with a lot of games, but ultimately, things move quickly, and we’re now focusing on the Champions League,” he concluded.
