Teammate Joshua Kimmich was particularly confident regarding Kane's situation. The Germany captain can hardly imagine a quarter-final without the record-breaking goalscorer and used a drastic but metaphor to emphasise the Englishman's importance. "He'll even play there in a wheelchair," Kimmich said aggressively, adding: "I expect him to be fit and on the pitch on Tuesday."
This attitude reflects the spirit within the team, which travels to Spain with a lot of momentum after the furious comeback in Freiburg. Despite trailing 0-2, the Munich side turned thematch in their favour on Saturday - a victory that puts them nine points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund and moves them significantly closer to securing the Bundesliga title.
