For the second leg of their Champions League playoff round, Bayern Munich endured a frustrating 1-1 draw against Celtic, advancing with a 3-2 aggregate score. Star striker Harry Kane was substituted at halftime due to a calf injury, which was later confirmed by manager Vincent Kompany. Kane also revealed lingering jaw pain and an ankle issue that limited his sprinting ability. Despite his struggles, Bayern's attack failed to make a significant impact before his substitution.

Post-match reports indicated that while Kane will undergo scans, his time on the sidelines may be brief. Bild journalist Michel Schröer reported Kane reassuring fans, stating, “I’m okay.” However, his availability for Bayern’s crucial Bundesliga clash against Eintracht Frankfurt remains uncertain.
