England captain Harry Kane made his thoughts clear before the arrival of new England manager Thomas Tuchel, who also coached him for a season at Bayern Munich.

Harry Kane says he is disappointed by the high number of withdrawals from the England squad this week, insisting the national team must come first.

Leipzig's 2-1 loss at Dortmund last week, their first in the league this season, has given Vincent Kompany's Bayern the chance to grow their lead at the top of the table.

Despite the win, Bayern Munich still have work to do in Europe, with this season's Champions League final on home soil.

The Catalans had lost their last six games against Bayern but outplayed the six-time winners at the Olympic Stadium with Robert Lewandowski also on the scoresheet.

The international break seems to have come at just the right time for Bayern Munich, allowing the 2020 treble winners a chance to regroup under head coach Vincent Kompany.

Bayern Munich had not lost a Champions League group game since 2017 until a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
