Harry Kane misses late chance 'that will PAIN him' as tearful Bayern Munich star's Champions League dream ends at the hands of Inter Milan

Harry Kane missed a great opportunity late on as his Bayern Munich fell to a 4-3 aggregate defeat by Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals, leaving the England skipper looking tearful after full-time.

Kane netted his side's first goal of an entertaining 2-2 second leg at the iconic San Siro, finishing well back across former Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer's goal.

Inter quickly turned the tables with Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard netting twice in three minutes before Eric Dier made it 2-2 to tee up a thrilling finale, but the Italian giants held on to make the last-four.

Kane though had the chance to force extra time in the 91st minute after a Sommer punch was mis-timed and the ball landed at his feet but the striker could only fire well over the bar. The 31-year-old was spotted with tears in his eyes at full time.

'I think when he watches that that will pain him,' said former Chelsea and England star Joe Cole on TNT Sport.

'The goalkeeper is in no-man's land, if he had just lifted it, it just needed a lob.

'Two great sides, and Inter Milan are through but I think it will be an even better semi-final.'

Vincent Kompany however remained philosophical about his side's Champions League campaign, claiming his side wouldn't have wished for 'a lot different'.

'Football is all about details. When you look at how the two games went, we wouldn't have wished for a lot different, except the goals we conceded,' he said.

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

The Italians will face Barcelona next, who they defeated at the semi-final stage in 2010 before going on to beat Bayern in the final to complete the treble, and Simone Inzaghi's side are still on course to repeat that feat this season.

It was a far from comfortable evening for Inter, but they did just enough in a pulsating clash between the top teams from Serie A and the Bundesliga.

Bayern, who lost the first leg 2-1, were the more aggressive side from the off, with Sommer saving a shot on the turn from Thomas Muller early on.

A mistake by Nicolo Barella allowed Muller to steal possession and play a pass into Michael Olise but Alessandro Bastoni nicked the ball off his toe before he could get a shot away.

Bayern's first attack of the second half led to Kane netting his 11th goal of this season's competition.

Leon Goretzka played the ball into Kane who took his time before teeing up a shot from a wide angle which he sent through the legs of Dimarco and into the far corner.

Bayern's joy lasted all of six minutes, as Martinez scored from a corner kick. His first headed effort came back off Joshua Kimmich and the Inter striker made no mistake with his shot from the rebound.

Inter went in search of a goal to kill off Bayern and found it within three minutes. Darmian had a shot cleared off the line by Dier and from the resulting corner Pavard powered a header past Jonas Urbig.

Bayern, however, refused to give in, and after a short corner, Serge Gnabry floated a ball into the box and Dier's attempt at a headed cross from the byline ended up finding the net.

With 14 minutes still remaining, a nervy ending was guaranteed. Sommer made a diving save from Muller deep into added time and the hosts held on and for the first time the Germans failed to win away to Inter, and exited the competition.

'We're disappointed. I gave everything, we gave everything,' admitted veteran forward Muller after the game.

'We played against the best team in Italy who have only conceded two goals in the Champions League before facing us. We can analyse everything, we can analyse the fact we conceded two goals from set pieces.'
