Following Bayern Munich 2-1 home defeat to Inter Milan in the 2024/25 Champions League quarter-final first leg, Harry Kane stressed the urgency to win the return leg. Facing a strong Inter defense at San Siro, Bayern face a tough but essential task.
After the start of the Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Inter Milan, leaving their hopes hanging by a thread. Despite the setback, star striker Harry Kane has made it clear that there’s no alternative but to win the second leg at San Siro. Speaking to Sky Sport’s Florian Plettenberg, Kane emphasized the team’s determination, saying, “We have to go there and win the game.”
Inter Milan proved to be a formidable opponent—disciplined in defense and tactically sharp—which makes the return leg in Italy even more daunting for the Bavarians. The atmosphere at San Siro will be intense, and Bayern must be at their best to overturn the deficit.
The first leg exposed vulnerabilities in Bayern’s defense, especially after the early booking and subsequent struggles of Kim Min-jae, which led to a breakdown at the back. The result sparked widespread criticism and concern, with fans and pundits questioning the team’s preparation and execution.
Despite the odds, Bayern has refused to back down. With their Champions League hopes on the line, the upcoming clash in Milan will be a true test of character and resilience for Thomas Tuchel’s side. A comeback is necessary—there’s no margin for error.
