On Tuesday night, in a thrilling match against Lazio, Harry Kane added two more goals to his impressive Bayern Munich tally, bringing his total to 33 for the season. But that wasn't the only momentous moment of the night. Kane also took the opportunity to call out former Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher for a little white lie he had told about their relationship.
Before the match, Carragher had claimed that he and Kane had exchanged friendly messages leading up to the game. But when CBS Sports presenter Kate Abdo confronted Kane about this, he didn't hesitate to set the record straight. "That is false," he declared with a smirk, much to the amusement of fellow pundits Thierry Henry and Micah Richards.
Carragher, on the other hand, was not as amused. "H, don't do this to me!" he pleaded with Kane. "I'm telling everyone in America that we're friends, we've got a great relationship. I can't believe you've just done that to me!"
But Kane was unapologetic. "We are friends, but I'm not going to lie on national TV!" he defended himself. "We exchange messages on Twitter. We're Twitter friends."
But beyond this lighthearted banter, the match itself was a crucial one for Bayern Munich. After losing the first leg 1-0 in Rome, they needed a dominant win at home to secure their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. And that's exactly what they got, with Kane's two goals leading the way to a 3-0 victory.
"It was a perfect night for us," Kane said after the match. "A really top performance. Everyone with energy, all around the pitch, the way we played and created chances and pressed without the ball." He was proud of his team's efforts and recognized the significance of the win for their season.
"Being 1-0 behind in the first leg, obviously a big moment in our season to go through," he acknowledged. "We know we can improve and be better but nights like this can really change the season. Really proud of the boys and we've just got to keep this momentum up."
And indeed, the momentum seems to be on their side, as they continue on in the Champions League and aim for further success. As for Carragher, well, he may not be able to boast about his friendship with Kane anymore, but he can certainly take pride in his team's performance and the thrilling match that unfolded on that Tuesday night.
