BAYERN MUNICH 2-2 REAL MADRID: Two goals from Vinicius Junior sandwiched Leroy Sane's strike and Harry Kane's penalty to leave the Champions League semi-final tightly poised for the second leg
Do not even think about writing off Harry Kane ’s chances of winning his first ever trophy this season.
It was never going to be easy. The tie is so evenly poised because two-goal Vinicius Junior scored a late penalty to level it up ahead of next week’s second leg in the Bernabeu. But Bayern almost swept away Real Madrid amid the noise of the 75,000 sell-out crowd in the Allianz Arena in a fabulous match-up between two of European football’s superpowers.
Kane was brilliant as he rose to the occasion, scored and set up chance after chance. Kane has now directly been involved in 11 goals in the Champions League this season, with eight goals and three assists, which is the most ever by an Englishman. And if there is always one player Real can rely on to turn the tide then it is Toni Kroos. The 34-year-old midfielder almost kept the ball to himself to slow the game down, keep possession and then provide the killer pass to set up the opener.
