Bayern Munich, facing a challenging period, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the first leg of the Champions League last 16, adding to their recent woes after a 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen.

Harry Kane, the England captain, addressed Bayern’s struggles, describing the current phase as a “difficult spell” for the team.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Kane reflected on a tough week for Bayern, acknowledging the team’s underwhelming performances. He stated, “Really tough week.

In the first half, we started well and had clear chances, one for myself. In these games, they’re big moments.”

Kane highlighted the disappointment in the second half, noting a decrease in energy and confidence.

Bayern faced additional challenges with a red card, making the situation more difficult. Despite the setbacks, Kane emphasized the need for internal resilience and determination.

“We have to find it among ourselves. We’re still in the race for the Bundesliga and in this tie. We have to keep fighting,” said Kane.

He acknowledged the team’s difficult spell but expressed optimism, stating, “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 round.”

Bayern Munich struggled to produce a shot on target in the Lazio match, intensifying the pressure on coach Thomas Tuchel.

The team faced earlier disappointments, including an exit from the DFB Pokal and losing the Super Cup.

With the Bundesliga title race becoming more challenging, Bayern must regroup for upcoming fixtures and the pursuit of success in the Champions League.

A trophy-less season for Harry Kane and Bayern Munich would be deemed a disaster, adding urgency to the need for improvement in performances.

The upcoming fixtures will be crucial for Bayern’s ambitions, and the team must overcome the current difficulties to maintain their pursuit of a 12th successive Bundesliga title.
