KANE URGES BAYERN TO KEEP FIGHTING FOLLOWING LAZIO DEFEAT
Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second
Bayern Munich striker, Harry Kane has urged his side to persevere following Lazio’s 1-0 victory in the first leg of their round of 16 match in Rome, thanks to a penalty kick by Ciro Immobile.
After a reckless charge by Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano on Gustav Isaksen, which resulted in the France international being sent off with a straight red card, Immobile scored his penalty kick in the 69th minute.
Disciplined Lazio stifled the German side’s attacks and Bayern were toothless throughout, failing to register a single effort on target in the game.
Bayern, who also lost at the weekend to Bundesliga title rivals Bayer Leverkusen, now have work to do if they are to reach the Champions League quarterfinals, and Kane says it is up to the players to turn around their stuttering form.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Kane said, “Really tough week. In the first half, we started well and had clear chances, one for myself. In these games, they’re big moments.
“The second half was disappointing. We came out with less energy and less confidence. We got punished. Once you go down to 10 men, it’s always difficult.
“We have to find it among ourselves. We’re still in the race for the Bundesliga and still in this tie. We have to keep fighting.
“We’re in a difficult spell. We have to fight. We have to turn it around. We have big games and big things to fight for. We’re not out of it, we will never give up. We just need to turn it around. One game or spark can turn it around.”
