'He has beer calm' - Thomas Tuchel explains what Harry Kane brings to Bayern Munich after scoring '4,800 goals'

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel joked that Harry Kane is so calm in front of goal that it's like he has just drunk a beer.

WHAT HAPPENED? Kane scored the crucial second goal in Bayern Munich's 3-1 Champions League win against Galatasaray on Tuesday, a match the Bundesliga side could have easily lost. Tuchel's side endured a tough first half in Istanbul, but fought back to practically sew up top spot in Group A.

WHAT THEY SAID: After the match, Tuchel told Amazon Prime Video: "He [Kane] has beer calm. If you have scored 4,800 goals in your career, then you just have less [of a] pulse.

"But Harry also had to fight back today and defend himself. He secured more balls in the second half, and that was also a factor. He has a very natural self-confidence and knows that he doesn't need many chances."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Reflecting on his 11th goal in 12 games for Bayern since his summer move from Tottenham Kane said: "Yes, [it was] probably a typical goal for a number 9. The boys did well on the right, I had a bit of space, I was in the right place at the right time. Good thing I was able to finish it off."

WHAT NEXT FOR KANE AND BAYERN?: A desire to win silverware was one of the motives behind Kane's decision to swap Spurs for Bayern. With his new side two points off the top of the Bundesliga and on course to qualify for the Champions League last-16, he looks well placed to do just that.
