- Harry Kane, the illustrious forward for Bayern Munich, encountered a devastating setback in the aftermath of his team’s draw with Arsenal ahead of the anticipated Champions League quarter-finals. Despite his stellar performance, which saw him notch his 31st Bundesliga goal of the season and orchestrate a stunning comeback securing victory for the reigning champions, Kane was forced to exit the match prematurely due to injury.
Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich’s manager, faced the daunting task of replacing his star striker with less than 20 minutes remaining, as Bayern clinched a commanding 5-2 victory over Darmstadt, languishing at the bottom of the league table. This untimely injury occurred just a fortnight before Arsenal was set to lock horns with the formidable German outfit at the Emirates Stadium.
Kane boasts a storied history against the Gunners, dating back to his tenure with Tottenham Hotspur in North London. During his stint with Spurs, he found the net 14 times in 19 fiercely contested derbies. Across these encounters, the England captain emerged victorious on seven occasions, shared the spoils in five matches, and tasted defeat seven times. Undoubtedly, Kane harbors ambitions to overshadow Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal with his prowess on the field.
