Bayern Eyeing Club World Cup Glory
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is feeling optimistic about his team’s chances in the FIFA Club World Cup at the end of the season. The Bundesliga giants have been placed in Group C alongside Auckland City, Boca Juniors, and Benfica, and Kane is eager to take on new challenges in the tournament.
Bayern are currently eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, and while their immediate focus is on the Champions League play-offs against Celtic, Kane is already looking ahead to the possibility of securing more silverware.
“For sure, the aim is to win [the Club World Cup],” Kane said. “We’re one of the best teams in the world, without a doubt, so every tournament we enter, the goal is to win. We know it’ll be tough, but we’re having a good season.”
Kane Excited for Unique Club Tournament
With 28 goals in all competitions, Kane has been in top form since joining Bayern Munich. He is particularly enthusiastic about the Club World Cup’s format, which allows European clubs to compete against teams from different continents.
“I think it’s going to be great,” Kane said. “[The Club World Cup] is unique. Playing this type of major tournament with your club is different from what’s been done before, but I think it’s going to be a great experience. It’s a chance to face teams from different parts of the world, and that’s exciting.”
One of the biggest highlights of the tournament will be Bayern’s clash with Boca Juniors at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, with 65,000 fans expected to attend.
“I think it’ll be one of the standout matches of the group stage and the whole tournament,” Kane said. “Football is growing in the United States, and they’ll be excited to see some of the best teams in the world compete on a high level.”
What’s Next for Bayern?
Before thinking about the Club World Cup, Bayern must navigate their way through the Champions League knockout play-offs, with a crucial two-legged tie against Celtic coming up. However, Kane and his teammates are determined to finish the season with multiple trophies, including adding the Club World Cup to their collection.
With Kane leading the attack, Bayern Munich are strong contenders to go all the way in the competition.
