Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane (31) was brimming with confidence ahead of his side’s Club World Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain. Interviewed by DAZN and then at a press conference, he recalled the Bavarian side’s Champions League victory over PSG this season, while underlining Bayern Munich’s determination to win the world title.
Kane “PSG are a great team, European champions”.
“PSG are a great team, European champions. We played them once this year and came out on top (1-0 in the C1 league phase), but it was a tough game, and we know the qualities they have, so we have to be ready for it.
Kane “We respect them, but at the end of the day, we’re here to win”.
We feel that when we’re at our best, we can beat anyone. We’ll approach this match with the same feeling. We respect them, but at the end of the day, we’re here to win the Club World Cup and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
Harry Kane’s message is crystal-clear: Bayern Munich go into their clash with Paris Saint-Germain with tenfold ambition. Kane respects his opponents, but beyond the respect shown, it is confidence that prevails on the Bavarian side. The English striker believes that when his team is at its best, it can beat any opponent.
This confidence, cultivated by Bayern’s recent successes and experience on the European stage, puts pressure on PSG to match this determination. For Paris, this match is much more than revenge: it’s a real-life test against a team used to shining at major tournaments.
