Bayern lost the first-leg of their semifinal 5-4 in Paris, though Kane insisted the visitors' defence performed well. For his part, Rooney disagreed, stating in his role as pundit: “Listen, I love Harry Kane but there’s no way he can be praising his defenders. “Maybe because they are his team-mates he is trying to give them a bit of confidence for next week. “I think the defending from both teams tonight was really bad, so I think he’s being a bit modest there." Kane had said: “Look, you have got the best players in the world going at it, the best attackers, the best defenders. Of course, sometimes the attackers are going to come out on top and show their quality like both teams did today. “When you go back and actually look at the centre-halves playing in midfield, playing in attack sometimes, playing out wide against the wingers, credit to them because it’s a really hard job and I thought they were outstanding today.”
