Harry Kane has highlighted the changes at Arsenal since their last Champions League meeting, as Bayern Munich prepare to face the Gunners on Wednesday. The striker, who scored in the 2023 quarter-final first leg that Bayern won 3-2 on aggregate, noted Arsenal's improved defensive solidity and experience.
Kane, who netted 11 times against Arsenal during his Tottenham career, acknowledged the rivalry but stressed the focus is on Bayern versus Arsenal. 'It's not about me against Arsenal,' he said. 'I'm in good form and it's all about helping my team.'
The England captain praised Mikel Arteta's side: 'They've become more solid, they have more experience. Their defensive structure is better. They've gained experience in the Champions League, which has helped them grow.'
Kane, with 27 goals this season, called for Bayern to be alert and press effectively. 'It's two of the best teams in the world,' he added. Arsenal will be without defender Gabriel Magalhaes due to a groin injury.
