I played in big games for Bayern last season but Celtic clash was most stressful

Harry Kane reckons his showdowns with Celtic last term were the 'most stressful time of the season' ahead of Bayern Munich's Champions League opener with Chelsea.

Bayern open their European campaign with a home game against the Stamford Bridge side tomorrow and the England legend has urged his teammates to use last season's experience against the Hoops as a lesson to make a fast start.

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.

England legend Kane 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, after a Nicolas Kuhn opener.

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.

"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.

"I would say we need five or six wins with a few draws to go through."
