— We wanted to reach the playoffs of the Champions League before the 2022 World Cup. If we were to be relegated, it would be a very painful blow, because coming back from the 2022 World Cup and playing in the Europa League is not at all what we expected. The question of the playoffs was vital for us.

There are still three games left before the World Cup, so hopefully we can use the victory in Marseille to finish this stretch with confidence. If we can win games in the Premier League and go through to the League Cup then it will be a really good half of the season, said Harry Kane.
