After spending nine years at Tottenham without winning a trophy, Harry Kane made a high-profile move to Bayern Munich in a deal worth at least £100 million. The England captain, currently preparing for a Euros qualifier against Ukraine, believes that playing in a more pressured environment will enhance his skills and make him a better player by Euro 2024, which will be hosted in Germany.

Kane acknowledges the expectations at Bayern Munich, a club that has dominated the Bundesliga for over a decade. He feels the pressure to win trophies, as the team has not lifted the cup or the Champions League in recent years. The striker admits that the pressure at Bayern is different from what he experienced at Tottenham, where a couple of games without a win were not considered disastrous. At Bayern, every game is expected to be won, and even victories with large margins are scrutinized for performance quality.

Kane acknowledges that winning silverware is the missing piece in his career and desires to have the experiences his England teammates have had. He is motivated to claim his first club trophies with Bayern and hopes that these experiences will help him handle pressure in crucial situations, especially with the England national team.

While watching his colleagues win major honors, Kane admits that it occasionally hurt him, but it also fueled his desire to achieve similar success. He wants to compete in the Champions League and contend for titles regularly, which is why he made the move to Bayern Munich.

Although there was speculation that Kane was reluctant to leave English football while chasing the Premier League’s all-time scoring record, he left Tottenham just 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s total. Kane emphasizes that he has never prioritized individual honors over team achievements and believes that playing in the Champions League and competing for titles each year is crucial for his development as a player.

With the Champions League final set to take place at Wembley and the European Championship being held in Germany, Kane acknowledges the potential for a remarkable storyline if he could win both competitions with Bayern and England. He remains focused on the present but admits that it would be incredible if such a scenario were to unfold.

“It’s hard. There’s so much time to go I don’t want to think about it too much, but if it did happen it would be incredible.” Harry Kane stated about the Champions League final at Wembley.
