Harry Kane unhappy with own performance after missing penalty in Bayern Munich draw to Borussia Dortmund - 'Strange night'

Harry Kane admitted it was a "strange night" at Allianz Arena as Bayern Munich were held to a 2-2 draw by Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund. The Ballon d'Or winner missed a penalty early in the second half, and Fabio netted a late equaliser for the visitors.

Bayern remain top of the Bundesliga table, level on points with Dortmund, though Kane has failed to score in his last two matches after a prolific start to the campaign.

"Today probably wasn't my best performance or the team's best performance, but that's just life. It's part of being a striker and a footballer," he told Bulinews in the mixed zone.

"I could have been out there [playing] for another hour today and the ball wouldn't hit the back of the net. You have to take that on the chin sometimes. It was a strange night all round."

The result was not the only disappointment for Bayern, who found themselves with mounting injury concerns after Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry were both forced off.

Michael Olise was also seen limping after the match.

"We have to see how the injuries are," Kane added. "A couple [of the injuries] didn't look so good."

Bayern were still without head coach Vincent Kompany for the Dortmund match. The Belgian was discharged from hospital last week having recovered from meningeal irritation.

It remains to be seen if he will be back on the touchline for Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League game against Atletico Madrid - live with TNT Sports on HBO Max.

Looking ahead to that fixture, Kane said: "We're at that stage of the season where we have that many games coming up. We have to think about using the squad a lot [rotation], and there's no doubt we will use the squad.

"For Atletico I'll be ready to go. It's an important game for us. We're going to a really tough place away from home so we're going to need everyone to step up."

Kane credits Mourinho for help in Ballon d'Or pursuit

Prior to Saturday's Der Klassiker, Kane revealed the impact of former Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho on his career.

Asked about a conversation with The Special One documented on the 'All or Nothing' series in 2020, Kane told L'Equipe: "I remember it well.

"It got spoken about a lot because I said I wanted to be on [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi's level and he said that he could help with that, and he did."

He added: "Jose was great. He developed my game in a different way, he gave me a lot of freedom, he allowed me to exploit all my qualities.

"He definitely made his stamp on me. I respected him so much. His personality, his demeanour… I respected the way he went about his business and the way he showed that. I learned a lot from him."

The England captain also revealed a message from Mourinho after his Ballon d'Or success.

Kane said: "He actually sent me a congratulations message and just said 'Well done'."
