'You can't just sit there' - Harry Kane gives honest verdict on Thomas Tuchel leaving Bayern Munich role at the end of the season

Bayern confirmed earlier this week that Tuchel will leave in the summer, amid links with both Xabi Alonso and Jurgen Klopp. The club are facing up to the prospect of a trophy-less season; they are second in the Bundesliga, eight points behind Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen, while they were beaten 1-0 by Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. In November, they were shockingly eliminated from the DFB-Pokal by lower-league Saarbrucken. Kane, though, insists he and his team-mates must continue fighting.

The England captain said, after scoring twice against RB Leipzig in a 2-1 win: "The club made a decision. We players have to show our responsibility to the manager, our responsibility to the club, to give everything we have for the season. We knew as players we haven't been performing as well as we can. You can't just sit there and talk about it. You have to fight and work hard at every moment and that's what we did today"

Kane scored a brilliant last-minute winner against Leipzig and has been in remarkable form this season, netting 31 goals in 31 games in all competitions. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old is continuing to chase the first senior trophy of his career.

Bayern are next in action against Freiburg on Friday. They will then face Lazio in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie the following Tuesday.
