Harry Kane Nets 4 As Bayern Munich Utterly Destroys Dinamo Zagreb

Harry Kane

Harry Kane and Bayern Munich made Champions League history as they utterly decimated Dinamo Zagreb 9-2, including four goals from the Englishman – a hat trick of penalties – setting a series of records and highlighting Bayern’s desire to conquer the continent this season.

Harry Kane Breaks Records

Harry Kane starred with all four goals, breaking a couple of records in the process. He is now the highest-scoring English player in European Cup history, moving past Wayne Rooney on 33 goals. Harry Kane also became the first player ever to score a hat-trick of penalties in a European Cup match. Speaking after the game, Harry Kane said: “It’s the first time I’ve ever had three penalties in one game. To score four goals is fantastic.” It sealed his reputation as one of the most clinical strikers in contemporary football.

Yet Harry Kane’s goals always came when it mattered, a 19th-minute penalty that set the tone for the game, his strikes that kept Bayern at their unrelenting best on Dinamo Zagreb. Versatility and nervelessness underlined each of his two goals as Bayern once again took center stage on the European front.

Bayern Munich Emerged with Determination

Obviously, Bayern Munich was not in the mood to take any prisoners after going through the entire last season without winning any silverware, and they had a clear message with this big win. The side was high-pressing, intense, and in control from the very first minute. “Everybody here has something to prove, and that is how we have started the season,” said Harry Kane. That was visible in the way the team went for goal after goal, never letting off despite being quite ahead.

That attacking will is then complemented with defensive discipline, bar a moment’s lapse that allowed guests from Dinamo Zagreb to score twice. But Bayern quickly regrouped through Harry Kane, among other key players like Michael Olise, to restore order. It was a warning to rivals in Europe as Bayern seeks out the ultimate hosted in Munich this season.

Vincent Kompany’s Champions League Debut

It was a special game for Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, too; his first time coaching in the Champions League from the bench. He was perfect for Bayern tactically. Where Harry Kane shone, it was a bunch of others who made it a rout, as so many players netted. Thomas Mueller also reached a landmark in the match, turning out for Bayern for the 152nd time in the Champions League to break the record of Xavi, who has played the most matches with one club.

Kompany’s own tactics therefore were to simply take full exploitation of the weaknesses of Zagreb and express the full attacking potential of Bayern. It brought its rewards when Bayern, dominant with the leather round, heaped on the pressure with substitute efforts from Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka off the bench. 

Conclusion

Harry Kane made it Bayern Munich 9-2, a statement of intent for this Champions League campaign. Interwoven into that record-breaking performance was the tactical brilliance and determination shown by Bayern to underline the ambition of recapturing their glory in Europe. This is such a formidable squad with a determined mindset trait Bayern Munich has set the tone for this season, giving credence to their potential to be a force to contend with right across Europe.
