On 7 Sep 2026 GMT+7, English striker Harry Kane spoke before leading Bayern Munich, the prominent Bundesliga club, under Belgian coach Vincent Kompany, into the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League, recalling the pain from last season.
Looking back at last season's competition, Bayern Munich were eliminated in the semifinals after losing 5-6 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain. This marked their sixth semifinal exit in seven years. Bayern will face Bodø/Glimt in their opening group stage match on Thursday, 10 September, kicking off at 02:00 AM Thailand time.
Recently, Harry Kane said, "Last year we came very close. I think it was a very narrow exit. We had to bow out to the team that eventually won the UEFA Champions League. We are entering this season saying this must be our year."
