Bayern Munich lost for the first time in 23 home games in the Champions League on Tuesday against Inter Milan. In a game full of what concerns the sites, a big missed chance stood out more than usual … The curler of Harry Kane bouncing on the post in the first half.
The English captain had been perfectly installed by Michael Olise, who found his attacker in space and completely not marked inside the box. The Inter Yann Sommer goalkeeper was unlikely to cover this large part of the net from this angle, and Kane had the best of him. But his shot was turned off – perhaps by no more than a few centimeters.
However, that seemed to be a safe goal, the type of chance that a Kane’s quality attacker should bury, as a time when a winning side in the Champions League should evoke.
“It does not happen very often,” said Kane after the match (as captured by Florian Prettenberg’s Sky Sport journalist, via @imiasanmia). “This is the life of an attacker, sometimes it happens. It was one of them. This is part of the footballer. You have to take the ups with the stockings.
“The right thing is that I get a chance. I’m going to enter the match against Dortmund with the same confidence and I hope I will come back to the score sheet.”
It is also part of life as an attacker – going up immediately and withdrawing. For Kane and Bayern, goals should come back soon. Maybe Der Klassiker We will see the valves open.
