Kane admits Bayern are 'in a difficult spell' but urges them 'to keep fighting'

Harry Kane has issued a rallying cry to his Bayern Munich team-mates after two devastating defeats have left their Bundesliga title and Champions League hopes in jeopardy.

The German giants were beaten 1-0 at Lazio in the Champions League last-16 first-leg on Wednesday night - with defender Dayot Upamecano suspended for the return leg after being shown a straight red card in the second half.

That result came four days after they were soundly outplayed at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga in a 3-0 loss - a result that sees them five points behind their rivals in the German top-flight.

Serial winners Bayern - who embarrassingly lost to third-division outfit Saarbrucken in the German Cup - now face the unfamiliar feeling of ending a season trophyless.

And reflecting on a nightmare few days, Kane is adamant they can turn around their fortunes.

'Really tough week. In the first half, we started well and had clear chances, one for myself. In these games, they're big moments,' the striker reflected to TNT Sports post-match after defeat at Lazio.

'The second half was disappointing. We came out with less energy and less confidence. We got punished. Once you go down to 10 men it's always difficult.

'We have to find it among ourselves. We're still in the race for the Bundesliga and still in this tie. We have to keep fighting.

'We're in a difficult spell. We have to fight. We have to turn it around. We have big games and big things to fight for. We're not out of it, we will never give up. We just need to turn it around. One game or spark can turn it around.'

Bayern will look to put their Bundesliga title charge back on track on Sunday afternoon when they visit Bochum.

After the trip to west Germany, Bayern face Leipzig (February 24) and
