Harry Kane was enthusiastic about the days surrounding his Bundesliga debut for FC Bayern in the 4-0 thrashing of Werder Bremen on Friday.
“Yesterday was a great game, it was a good result to start with. A big thank you to the fans all over the world. Of course it was a dream start,” said the Englishman on the sidelines of the “dream game” against a fan club selection in Kaltern South Tyrol to club media.
The friendly kick against the supporters, which the German record champions won 6-1, shows “the DNA and spirit of FC Bayern. I’m very happy to be part of FC Bayern now. The closeness to the fans here is just fantastic “, enthused Kane, who had immediately contributed a goal and an assist against Werder.
Teammate Jamal Musiala also enjoyed the trip to South Tyrol. “The weather was nice, the atmosphere was good. They defended well and played good football too. It’s always fun to spend time with the fans. People support us all year round, it’s important that we take time for them,” explained the national player.
Fans “a very important part of FC Bayern”
“The dream game is a very special day for the boys. It’s a great honor for us to be the opponents. I hope they had a nice day with us,” said defender Matthijs de Ligt.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also paid tribute to the “beautiful event”. The attacker added: “You can see a lot of joy on their faces, especially the children. Without the fans, football would not exist, they are a very important part of Bayern Munich.”
Martin Ritsch, who conceded Bayern Munich’s only goal, said: “It’s an unforgettable day for me. Just getting the chance to play against Bayern and then score a goal is unique. I won’t forget that day in a hurry .”
