Harry Kane says Bayern Munich’s clash with Celtic<\/a> last term was the ‘most stressful time of the season’ – urging his teammates to get the job done with a bit less fuss this time around.<\/p>\n

And the England legend has urged his teammates to use last season’s experience against Brendan Rodgers’ team as a lesson to make a fast start.<\/p>\n

The Bundesliga champions could only finish in 12th place last season in the league phase and had to face Celtic in a play-off game.<\/p>\n

England hero Kane<\/a> netted at Parkhead in a 2-1 win but was forced off injured at half time in the return at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern needed an injury time goal from Alphonso Davies to scramble a 1-1 draw and break Hoops hearts<\/a>, after a Nicolas Kuhn opener.<\/p>\n

And Kane admitted: “The game against Celtic was our most stressful time of the season. It made a big difference to our season because we lost a few players.<\/p>\n

“It shows the additional strain of playing in the play-offs. That’s why it’s important to get off to a good start in the Champions League this time.<\/p>\n
