"It was also about defending, winning second balls, and using my long passing game. In the end, it was another good win, and I'm happy with the three points. Kane was phenomenal against Dortmund - from his passing range (11 long pass completions, including the pre-assist for Olise's crucial goal) to his defending all over the pitch from his first moment to the last. This kind of performance, on the biggest stage the Bundesliga has to offer, is something to savor."
"The home side appeared to wear down and wilt under pressure from Borussia Dortmund as the game went on, but it was a gutty effort to even preserve the win under what many would consider to be a shaky second half. Head coach Vincent Kompany will have to find a way to deal with the weariness of his boys, but for now, let's talk about how it all played out."
Harry Kane adapted his role into a near box-to-box presence, dropping deeper to defend, win second balls and employ long passing while remaining a scoring threat. He completed 11 long passes and provided the pre-assist for Olise's crucial goal. Vincent Kompany described the display as a complete performance and Kane called it among his best efforts. Bayern Munich claimed a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker, but the second half saw the home side tire and come under heavy pressure. Kompany faces the task of managing player weariness. The postgame coverage examined XI choices, key performers, and substitution patterns.
