It is possible that the double against Lazio at the Allianz Arena this morning will be a turning point in Kane's playing career. Because, it not only helped his Bayern restore order on Europe's most prestigious playground with a 3-1 final victory, but could become an important premise for the British star striker to win a prestigious title. signal.
Being forced into a position where they had to win with a difference of 2 goals or more to qualify for the quarterfinals, Kane and his teammates had a confusing first few minutes of the match, being pressured by Lazio. If Ciro Immobile had succeeded in narrowly missing the post, the scenario of this match might have been different.
However, God may still have mercy on Kane's fate. He ran from Tottenham to Bayern to be able to win a title, but "trophies kept coming one after another", from the German Super Cup to the German National Cup and Bundesliga. Now only the Champions League remains.

And, of course, to be crowned the champion of Europe's No. 1 playground, there is still a long way to go. But at least Bayern and Kane have reached the quarterfinals. Immobile's unsuccessful finish was like a pendulum that woke up the Gray Tigers to protest against all developments on the field.
And, Kane made the away team pay a heavy price. He scored the 32nd goal of this season for Bayern with a typical predatory finish, clearly helping the Allianz Arena team relieve pressure.
The English striker's opening goal (38') helped the home players play more smoothly and successfully in the remaining minutes of the first half. Matthijs de Ligt's beautiful volley found Thomas Muller (45') in the right position, allowing the veteran to increase the score to 2-0 for Bayern as an inevitable consequence. Then Kane completed the double by scoring 3-0 in the 66th minute.
The double against Lazio was Kane's 50th and 51st goals in the Champions League. Thereby helping him surpass the milestone of former Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who had 50 goals at the most prestigious playground on the Old Continent. It should also be emphasized that Kane overcame great psychological pressure to score.
During the first half, Kane touched the ball very little and was almost isolated because Bayern did not start the match well. However, true to the hunting instinct of a leading lion of the England team, Kane shined when the team needed him the most.

If the first goal helped Bayern release their spirits and ease the tension to move forward, the second goal showed that Kane's ability to be in the right place at the right time was neither luck nor coincidence. 33 goals in 33 matches for Bayern in a season where the Gray Tigers had so many problems, further proves Kane's tireless efforts to end his terrifying titleless curse.
In the most difficult situation, the English striker saved himself, and at least he still has a chance to win the title this season when Bayern has participated in the round for the 8 strongest teams of the Champions League. Hopefully Kane's spirit of not giving up and his will will be rewarded.
