Harry Kane claims he is ‘more suited’ to Champions League than Bundesliga

Harry Kane believes the Champions League gives strikers more opportunities than the Bundesliga after scoring twice in Bayern Munich’s 3-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night.

The England captain opened his account from the penalty spot after being fouled by Moises Caicedo, before adding a second when Bayern’s press forced an error from Malo Gusto, allowing the ball to break kindly for him to slot home at the far post.

“I always feel like in the Champions League you create maybe more chances than the Bundesliga, the games are maybe a bit more open, and that suits me,” Kane told DAZN.

“Hopefully I can get more than 11 this year,” he added, referencing his tally from last season’s competition.

Now 32, Kane has started his third in Germany in blistering form, hitting nine goals in five matches across all competitions – 10 in six if the German Supercup is included.

“It’s always the aim to improve and get better,” he added.

Bayern went ahead early when Michael Olise forced Trevoh Chalobah into an own goal, and while Chelsea briefly fought back through Cole Palmer’s well-taken equaliser, the visitors faded as the match wore on. Palmer thought he had a second after a sharp finish late in the game, but VAR ruled it out for offside.
