Talking about his second goal in the game, Bayern Munich striker Kane said, "It was a beautiful pass from Kimmich. I wasn't sure if he saw me at the time, but he made a clever hidden pass. The first touch directly created space for the shot. I could choose to shoot in two directions, and I felt that the near corner was a better choice."
"It was a difficult game, we faced a very strong team and the conditions were not easy, but I thought the team played well for most of the game."
Kane also pointed out, "Every time we tried to pull away, the opponent was able to catch up tenaciously, making the game more tense. So the fourth goal became crucial, which relieved our pressure."
In addition, Bayern Munich will face French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, while Enrique's team defeated Miami International 4-0 in the round of 16 and the overall morale is very high.
Kane said, “It will be another tough game. Paris Saint-Germain has had a great season. We played against them in the past season and won the game.”
"We need to bring that energy into this game and we know it's going to be tough, but when we play at our best we can beat any team."
