Harry Kane spoiled a Bundesliga fairy tale as Bayern Munich ruined the mood for their opponents, while Scott McTominay again played through the pain barrier to deliver for Napoli and Jack Harrison made his mark for Fiorentina.
Kane’s latest contribution came in a game that had been building into a feel-good story for the hosts, only for Bayern to do what they have so often done in Germany and turn it into another reminder of their power. Kane was central to that, bringing his usual edge in the final third and ensuring the “fairy tale” ended in misery.
In Italy, McTominay continued to show why Napoli have trusted him in key moments. Despite carrying an injury, the Scotland international fought through clear discomfort and still found a way to score again, pushing his side on when they needed a lift.
It was another example of his growing importance, with McTominay combining intensity with a willingness to play through the knocks that so often define a long season.
Over in Florence, Harrison delivered for Fiorentina, producing an important contribution to underline his ability to impact games away from England. The winger’s involvement helped Fiorentina at a key point, adding to a weekend in which British players abroad again found ways to influence results.
From Kane ending a storybook run in the Bundesliga, to McTominay refusing to be stopped by injury, and Harrison stepping up in Serie A, it was a strong set of moments for the Brits making headlines overseas.
