Wayne Rooney has publicly disagreed with Harry Kane's assessment of Bayern Munich's defending after their dramatic 5-4 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Manchester United legend, working as a pundit for Amazon Prime Video, took issue with Kane's post-match comments praising his team's back line.
Kane, who scored from the penalty spot in the match, had said: 'I thought there was amazing defending, even though there were nine goals. Sometimes the forwards will come out on top, but the back line was outstanding today.' However, Rooney countered: 'I love Harry Kane but there is no way he can be praising his defenders. The defending from both teams was really bad from both teams, I think he is being modest there.'
The high-scoring encounter at the Parc des Princes saw PSG secure a 5-4 victory, with braces from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele, plus a goal from Joao Neves. Bayern's other scorers were Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz.
The second leg is scheduled for May 6 at the Allianz Stadium, with a place in the final against either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid at stake. The other semi-final first leg takes place on Wednesday night at the Metropolitano Stadium.
