Brendan Rodgers has hailed Harry Kane as one of the best strikers in the world but expressed his disappointment with his team’s mistakes after they were beaten 2-1 at home to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League play-off.
Bayern took a 2-0 lead through Michel Olise late in the first half before Kane volleyed home from a corner early in the second half.
Daisen Maeda equalised for Celtic but it was not enough as Bayern took the lead going into the second leg at the Allianz Arena.
Speaking after the game, Rodgers spoke about the mistakes made in defending the corner and hailed Kane as a “super striker “. “It was about being more aggressive. เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย We conceded goals easily. We are usually very strong at defending set-pieces.
But the one person you can’t leave out is one of the best strikers in the world,” said Rodgers. Bayern’s victory gives them the advantage going into the second leg, but Rodgers remains positive and pointed to Celtic’s late pressure on their visitors.
“At 2-1, Bayern started to compact themselves and that’s what we have to take with them. We’ve got another game to play, a few lads playing on this level for the first time but they did really well, so let’s go into it without fear and see what happens,” added Rodgers.
“We’ve shown we can attack and create chances. We’re still in the running. ” We did really well towards the end of the game which gives a confidence boost and I’m looking forward to Tuesday’s game.
