HARRY KANE and Jude Bellingham are the star attractions of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final firecracker between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
That is the view of former Bayern central defender Holger Badstuber, who lifted the prestigious trophy at Wembley in 2013 following a gutsy 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund.
And now he hopes England captain Kane will follow suit by delivering the goals to fire the Bavarian giants past Los Blancos.
Badstuber said: "Yes, there is pressure but when you think about great strikers, they perform in these matches.
"When you want to win the Champions League, you need a player like Kane and in both semifinal matches, they will need his goals.
"That's why he's very important now and, while there's a lot of pressure on his shoulders, I think he can handle it."
