Kahn vows to make
amends

MUNICH,
Germany (AFP) - Bayern Munich captain Oliver Kahn vowed to make amends the day
after his his late error gifted Real Madrid an equaliser in Tuesday's 1-1
Champions League draw at the Olympic Stadium.
The
34-year-old goalkeeper admitted he had made a howler but said that he was
determined to win their return leg game single handedly.
"It's
a great duty for me. Those who know me know that I will go beyond my limits. If
we're eliminated because of that goal I will obviously take total responsibility.
But it hasn't come to that yet."
The
German international goalkeeper allowed Roberto Carlos' free-kick to slip under
his massive frame with seven minutes left to deny Bayern a glorious win after
Dutchman Roy Makaay had put Munich ahead on 75 minutes.
"I
should have stopped it even without my two arms and two legs," said Kahn.
"That's
a goalie's life. That can always happen. In this business the world can change
in the space of a second."
But he
ruled out talk that he was past his prime.
"I
don't want to stop, and that will be the case for a few years," added Kahn.
