Spurs old boy Kane returns to irritate Gunners in ECL

Kane kept his cool after Leroy Sane had been fouled not long after Serge Gnabry had cancelled out Bukayo Saka's early opener.

No opposition player has scored more goals at the Emirates than Kane, who netted plenty of penalties for Spurs over the years and he knew his old fans would have been watching.

"I think they have a soft respect for me," he said of Arsenal fans who were goading him during his interview on TNT Sports.

"I know there wasn't just Bayern Munich fans watching this game tonight, so maybe there was a little bit more pressure. It is always a tough game.

Great performance from back to front. Only half time in the tie. Can't wait for next week in Munich with our fans and a special atmosphere. 🙌 — Harry Kane (@HKane) #MiaSanMia pic.twitter.com/chMMV2WqvFApril 9, 2024

Leandro Trossard's second-half strike ensured it ended 2-2 and leaves it finely poised for next week's second leg.

"You have seen it over the last couple of years, probably my last season at Tottenham, they were really strong and had a good go at winning the league," Kane added.

"They are a really good team, we changed how we defended without the ball. More of a 4-4-2 and had to ... dig deep.

"We know we are playing a top team and they are on top of Premier League for a reason. Tough game."

The Champions League represents Kane's only real chance of silverware in his debut season in Munich following his side's capitulation in the Bundesliga title race. 

Despite their poor league campaign, Kane has loved his time in Germany having scored 39 goals in 38 matches.

"It's been an amazing experience, of course the league hasn't gone the way I or the club would have wanted it to go, but for me personally it has been an amazing experience," he said.

"To see a different culture, to see a different league, it has been a great step in my career."
