Bayern Munich's dream of a historic Treble came crashing down on Wednesday night, as a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain wasn't enough to overturn a two-goal deficit, resulting in a 6-5 aggregate loss in the Champions League semi-finals. For star striker Harry Kane, the exit was a bitter pill to swallow, especially after he'd netted a stoppage-time equalizer that briefly reignited hope at the Allianz Arena.

"It's tough. We had enough chances today to reach the final," Kane admitted to Sky Germany in the mixed zone, his frustration palpable. The England captain's injury-time strike was a classic poacher's finish, but it ultimately served as a consolation prize in a tie where Bayern's finishing let them down across both legs. The defeat marks the second consecutive season Bayern have fallen short in the Champions League knockout stages, despite dominating domestically.

With the Bundesliga title already safely in the trophy cabinet, Kane is now shifting his focus to the DFB-Pokal final on May 23, where Bayern will face VfB Stuttgart. "Now my focus is on the DFB-Pokal final. We have the chance to win the double," he said, showing the resilience that's made him one of Europe's most lethal finishers. A domestic double would be a strong statement for the Bavarian giants, even if the Champions League continues to elude them.

Looking ahead to the Champions League final, where PSG will take on Arsenal, Kane offered his assessment: "PSG are the slight favourites in the final." Given PSG's depth and experience on Europe's biggest stage, it's a prediction that carries weight—but as Kane knows all too well, football has a way of defying expectations. For now, Bayern's focus is on finishing the season with silverware, and fans will be watching closely to see how their new talisman leads the charge in the cup final.
