Harry Kane Takes Aim at Arsenal Before Champions League Clash

Harry Kane admitted that watching Premier League football is **less enjoyable** due to the set-piece craze, which he linked to Arsenal.

The England captain will face his north London rivals in a Champions League clash at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

Both Bayern and Arsenal have won all four of their league phase matches, setting the scene for an intriguing spectacle.

Kane **sighed** that the level of intrigue surrounding English clubs has dropped for him, citing the evolution of football.

Kane was keen to downplay Bayern's focus on Arsenal's set pieces, stating that they've done their normal preparation.

The best way to stop Arsenal's set pieces is not giving them away, which Bayern hopes to do by controlling the game.

Bayern has faced just 30 shots from set pieces this season, but these rare openings have led to six dead-ball goals.

Mikel Arteta, the manager, was asked if he feared Kane, but he **admired** what Kane has done and continues to do, citing his consistency.

Arteta's message to his players was clear: be prepared for what's coming and focus on themselves.

Jurriën Timber revealed that Kane's name has been on the lips of the Arsenal backline, as they discuss him due to his danger as a striker.

Kane has been deadly against the Gunners, scoring a goal on his first trip to the Emirates with Bayern Munich in April 2024.

The all-time top scorer in the north London derby got a signature penalty in a Champions League quarterfinal that Bayern won.

Kane's record against Arsenal will be put to the test on Wednesday night, as Bayern Munich looks to continue their winning streak, said Arteta.

The match promises to be an exciting clash between two strong teams, with Kane's performance being a key factor in the outcome.

On Wednesday night, the Emirates Stadium will host a thrilling match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal, with Harry Kane leading the charge, added Timber.
