Bayern Munich Coach Confirms Harry Kane Played Through Pain Against Real Madrid

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany revealed that striker Harry Kane played in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid while suffering from physical pain. The Belgian coach explained that the England international pushed through his discomfort to feature in the important continental clash.

Kompany emphasized that the English forward put in a significant effort during the match, overcoming his usual pain threshold to contribute to his team. "Harry Kane was in good condition after the game. He played slightly beyond his pain threshold, but there was no negative reaction the following day, and that is the most important thing for us," the coach stated, confirming that the player's physical condition remains under continuous monitoring.

Following the Bavarian club's 2-1 victory in the first leg, the technical staff considered the absence of any health repercussions the day after the match a very positive indicator for the player's recovery process and his readiness for upcoming fixtures.
