Kane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-arsenal-afraid-harry-kane-champions-league-return-bayern-munich-catastrophic-season/blte5068b8eda0ad306" target="_blank">was a constant thorn in Arsenal's side during his time at north London rivals Tottenham</a>, scoring 14 goals in 19 appearances against the Gunners. He built on that record last week on his return to the English capital with his new team, Bayern Munich, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bukayo-saka-never-penalty-winners-losers-harry-kane-haunt-arsenal-champions-league-bayern-munich/blt6023024dcc53b7bd" target="_blank">when he scored in the 2-2 draw in their Champions League quarter-final tie</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There are only two teams - Everton and Leicester - that Kane has managed to score more goals against and he admits that being released by Arsenal as a nine-year-old is a key factor behind his hunger for goals whenever he comes up against them.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kane told <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/04/16/harry-kane-arsenal-rejection-point-prove-dna-bayern-munich/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>: "We played them at least twice a year for the last 10 years [with Tottenham] and it was always a big occasion, big moment. Maybe it was in the back of my mind, being released from a young age, and there is always a point to prove."I am the type of player who, throughout my career, has had points to prove along the way. I don’t think that ever leaves you. It will always be in my DNA, until I retire. There will always be a reason to prove someone wrong or to prove myself I can do something."I don’t think specifically back to that and think ‘I was released when I was nine years old, I really have to make a difference tomorrow.’ Now I am at Bayern Munich it is about being a top team in the Champions League. Of course I have history with them [Arsenal], but all I can do is try to help Bayern Munich."

WHAT KANE SAID

The 30-year-old will hope to add even more goals to his record against his old rivals when Bayern host Mikel Arteta's team in the second leg of their European tie this week. The two teams <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mixed-emotions-harry-kane-arsenal-tottenham-champions-league-dreams-dashed-bayern-munich-striker/blt33742768c7b8ddce" target="_blank">play the return fixture in Munich on Wednesday</a>.
