Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed some secrets about Harry Kane's diet ahead of a Champions League clash with Real Madrid
WHAT HAPPENED?
Despite Bayern Munich not clinching the Bundesliga title this season, Harry Kane has made a significant impact, scoring 36 goals in 32 games and breaking several records. The England captain still has a chance to claim silverware with Bayern in the Champions League, with a crucial semi-final second leg against Real Madrid approaching at the Santiago Bernabeu.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
In his initial weeks at Bayern, Kane stayed in a Munich hotel, where it was disclosed that he enjoys bacon and baked beans for breakfast. Ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel was asked about any surprises during Kane's debut season with the club. He mentioned Kane's fondness for a frothy coffee.
WHAT TUCHEL SAID
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel revealed an unexpected habit of Harry Kane's, telling reporters, "How many cappuccinos he drinks a day. Every time I go into the kitchen, he is there. It must be so good, I have started doing it. He looks healthy and in good shape."
Tuchel continued, "We got a big personality in our dressing room, on top of a goalscorer and someone with the ability to handle pressure. But we knew that. He is the captain of England. He has brought everything to the team that we could possibly have hoped for. [Against Real Madrid] he needs to prove the point and deliver."
WHAT'S NEXT FOR BAYERN
Bayern Munich will be aiming to reach the Champions League final under Thomas Tuchel's guidance, as the manager prepares to leave the club at the end of the season. The Bavarian giants will look to Harry Kane for inspiration in their crucial semi-final second leg against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Kane scored a penalty in the first leg and has registered eight goals and three assists in 11 Champions League appearances this season.
