Kane lauds Diaz 'moment of magic' after Bayern knock out Real

Harry Kane praised Luis Diaz's late "moment of
magic" which delivered the killer blow as Bayern Munich eliminated
Real Madrid to reach the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday.
Holding a 2-1 first-leg advantage, Bayern fell behind
three times on the night in the first half as record 15-time champions Real
produced a familiarly strong performance on the European stage.
The tie was level at 4-4 on aggregate when Diaz struck
in the 89th minute to put Bayern in front, before Michael Olise added another
in stoppage time.
Bayern will face holders Paris Saint-Germain in the
semis after winning 4-3 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate.
"I think even in the last 20 minutes of the game
I felt like we were the team trying to make something happen," Kane told
reporters.
"They started to tire a little bit, and it just
sometimes takes a moment, a moment of magic, an unbelievable finish, or an
unbelievable pass.
"In this case it was two great finishes by Lucho
(Diaz) and Michael (Olise), to finish the game off for us, and that's what the
Champions League is about.
"Sometimes, you can be the dominant team and
lose, so it's nice to get through and win this one."
The England captain credited his side's patience for
helping them overcome Madrid.
"The highs and lows throughout the first half
especially was pretty unique," Kane said.
"We stayed in the game, we stayed patient,
especially in the second half, we knew as the game would go on we would become
stronger.
"Physically this season we've been really strong
in the last 10-15 minutes, and that's kind of what happened today. We took our
chances when we needed to at the end."
Kane's first-half strike made him the first English
player in a top-five European league since 1930-31 to score 50 goals in all
competitions in a season.
"It's a reward for a lot of the hard work that we
put in, not just me, but the team," Kane told TNT.
"It wouldn't be possible without the players
around me and for me it's just about keeping it going.
"We've still got six weeks left in a Bayern
shirt, we (England) have a World Cup in the summer and I just want to stay
physically fit and sharp and just be out there to help the team."
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said his side were ready
to take on PSG.
"We believe in ourselves more than ever,"
Kompany said.
"We believed until the very end, never giving up
after two tough battles against a great Real Madrid."
