Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane:

“It was an important game for us today. It’s been a difficult season, partly down to what Bayer Leverkusen are doing. They are still undefeated which makes our season seem a bit worse than it actually is.

“It’s an important night. It can really change the whole momentum of the season.

“We were 1-0 behind and going through a difficult spell so to come out here, play the way we did and for me personally, to score a couple of goals was an amazing feeling.

“Hopefully I can take that into the games ahead and the team as well.”

Bayern play Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday while Lazio face Udinese in the Serie A on Monday.
