Harry Kane had one of his key qualities overlooked during his history-making 14-year senior career with Tottenham, Bayern Munich head Vincent Kompany believes.England captain Kane became Tottenham and the Three Lions record scorer before leaving for Bayern in 2023, where he is about to finish the season as the Bundesliga top scorer for a third consecutive campaign and was named Player of the Season in the German top flight for 2024/25.Hes like a fine wine that improves with age, Kompany said of the 32-year-old, who is hoping to add to his 12 goals in this seasons Champions League when Bayern visit Paris Saint-Germain the first leg of the semi-finals on Tuesday.People in England saw him as a goalscorer. His finishing and leadership were never underestimated. Weve seen other qualities too, such as his footballing intelligence. We can appreciate that now it was perhaps somewhat underestimated in England. I also enjoy that aspect of his game.Table of ContentsAnalysis: How Bayern will miss Kompany vs PSGPSG vs Bayern: Champions League holders deserve praiseWhen is PSG vs Bayern?

I cant fit in a washing basket.I started as a player-manager [at Anderlecht]. Whenever you were injured, you couldnt be on the touchline. Unfortunately I was often injured, so Ive got a lot of experience in this area.Where am I sitting? Somewhere in the stadium maybe not too far away from you [reporters].Our plans are clear. I know up until which point I can do things and how I can support the team. Im not there for a part of it. Its about dealing with it as a team, and we can do that.Analysing the squads challenge in Kompanys absence, Kane said it would be down to us to perform on the pitch.Well miss him on the touchline, admitted Kane, via Bayerns website.

Kane has four more goals than any player still involved, three behind Madrids Kylian Mbappe.In my view, the defending champions are fully entitled to claim what they want, Kompany said when he was asked about PSGs confident mood.Were fighting for the title that PSG won last year.
