​Harry Kane was seen fighting back tears after Bayern Munich were dumped out of the Champions League by Inter Milan.

The England captain was captured by cameras standing on the San Siro pitch after the final whistle staring into space as Bayern failed to overturn a 2-1 first-leg defeat by the Italian side.

Kane gave Munich hope with a first-half strike but a three-minute spell in the second-half put the German side back behind after Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard got on the score sheet for Inter.

Fellow Englishman Eric Dier got Bayern back level on the night but the 2-2 draw left Kane still searching for the first trophy of his career.

The 31-year-old cut a shocked figure after the match with his blood shot eyes after he missed a 91st-minute chance to level the tie.

​Frustrations were shown on the pitch at the San Siro after Bayern defender Josip Stanisic pushed a ballboy from his stool while trying to recover the ball.

The Croatian defender clashed with the ball boy during injury time after he threw the ball away from Stanisic as Bayern searched for a late goal to level the tie.

The incident saw Stanisic confronted by Inter players as tempers flared and the 25-year-old admitted after the game he had been ‘stupid’.

Kane has finished runner-up in the competition in 2019 while playing for Tottenham and also experienced two Euros final defeats with England during his career. He also finished second in the Premier League and lost a Carabao Cup final while at Spurs.

However, after finishing second in the Bundesliga to Bayer Leverkusen in his debut season in Germany, Kane is on route to securing his first-ever piece of silverware this season with Bayern currently having a six-point gap over their rivals with just five games to play.

“We gave everything to win,” Kane said. “We had enough chances over the two legs. Conceding two goals from set pieces today was criminal. It completely shifted the momentum. We came very close. Football is about moments, they took theirs more than.”

“Football is all about details. When you look at how the two games went, we wouldn’t have wished for a lot of differen​t, except the goals we conceded,’ Bayern manager Vincent Kompany added.

“We knew about Inter’s strengths going forward and from set pieces - but we were also dangerous and had our chances.”
