Kane was presented with a golden opportunity in the first half of Bayern's Champions League quarter-final first-leg encounter against Inter on Tuesday night but uncharacteristically failed to take his moment. The England captain was played through inside the Inter box and wrapped a curling effort towards goal, only to see the ball clip the post and fly out for a goal kick.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
It was a rare miss from such a distance from Kane, who has a reputation as one of Europe's most lethal finishers. His side were then punished for his mistake, conceding two second-half goals to trail heading into the return leg at the San Siro. It was a night to forget for the former Tottenham man, but he has taken to social media in an effort to rally the troops for the second part of the tie.
WHAT KANE SAID
On his official Instagram page, the 31-year-old said: "A disappointing result last night but lots of good things we can take from the game. Tie isn’t over! All to play for next week. 💪"
