Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane (32) kicked his rolling luck again.
Kane started in the first leg of the 2024-2025 European Champions League quarterfinals against Inter Milan at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 9th (Korea time) and played full-time for 90 minutes without scoring.
There was no isolation or movement in front of the opponent. Kane shot a total of six shots against Inter Milan's three-back on the day, recording two effective shots. The problem is accuracy. In the 25th minute of the first half, Michael Olise's perfect pass in the penalty box was sent out of the goal. In the 38th minute of the first half, he hit the opponent's goal just before giving Lautaro Martinez the first run.
He kept knocking on Inter Milan's goal, but eventually failed to cut into the net. Kane had a total of three big chances misses, and the team lost 1-2. In the 40th minute of the second half, substitute Thomas Müller scored an equalizer, but in the 43rd minute of the second half, David Pratesh scored an additional goal.

Kane said after the game "It's not a common situation, but that's the way a striker lives. Sometimes that happens. A footballer often goes through good and bad things together."
Then "The positive part is that I got a chance. I hope he will be able to score in the next match against Dortmund (on the 13th)."
Kane has scored more goals than anyone else in the UCL since leaving Tottenham to join Munich in the summer of 2023. Before the game, he played in 23 games and scored 18 goals. This is a record that outpaces Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid, 15 goals), Hapinha (Barcelona), Erling Holan (Man City, 14 goals) and Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid, 13 goals).
He has scored 78 goals in 84 games across all competitions, which is also the highest score in Europe's top five leagues. Kane has scored 10 goals in 12 UCL games this season, tying for second in scoring. He also led his team to the quarterfinals by scoring a total of three goals in two games against Leverkusen in the round of 16. However, he became smaller again in the first round of the important quarterfinals.

This is a challenge for almost every team facing Inter Milan. Inter Milan have dedicated just three goals to the UCL this season. There are the fewest runs in all teams. Defender Alessandro Bastoni was named the man of the match against Munich and Inter Milan for his stable defense.
However, in order for Munich to take the big year, it must also know how to break the defensive wall, which is about the size of Inter Milan. Kane, who is trying again for his first major title this season, has one more chance left. Munich aims to win the second round of the quarterfinals at Stadio Jussepemeacha in Milan, Italy, on the 17th.
