"It's important to finish in the top eight because these additional playoff games make a big difference for the season. Last season that was our most stressful period. It made a huge difference. We need six wins or five with a few draws. That's why it's important to have a good start right away,"
"Bayern Munich is entering a rugged part of its schedule and the bizz surrounding the team should spike in the coming days. Let's talk about where everything stands after a great weekend in the Bundesliga and ahead of key match against Chelsea in the Champions League: It was a good weekend for Bayern Munich as the Bavarians dominated Hamburger SV. What good can we take out of that ahead of a very important showdown against Chelsea in the Champions League."
Harry Kane wants Bayern to finish in the Champions League top eight to avoid additional playoff matches that add strain to the season. Extra playoff games last season created the most stressful period and significantly affected performance. Bayern require six wins or five wins with a few draws to secure a top-eight spot, so an immediate strong start is vital. Additional matches increase the risk of injury and fatigue as the club faces Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in a difficult upcoming run. Bayern dominated Hamburger SV recently, and Thomas Müller recorded a hat trick on his birthday. Transfer interest in Michael Olise from multiple elite clubs could become a distraction.
